Creationist blather aside, when did the last dinosaur
die? I mean I have heard theories that while most of
the dinosaurs went extinct during the K-T boundary
event (i.e. yucatan asteroid impact)some in more
remote locations may have survived long enough to
interact with our hominid ancestors supposedly giving
rise to the dragon myths which amazingly seem to have
arisen independently in numerous cultures. Some few
say that there might still be dinosaurs in certain
parts of the world e.g. Lochness and Lake Eyrie let
alone more remote parts like jungles in Africa. I have
not actually read the primary article in Science yet,
did they actually date the fossil?
