Pegomastax africanus is claimed to be the smallest dinosaur that roamed the Earth more than 200 million years ago.It was smaller than a housecat but not nearly as likeable . It probably was a herbivorous .



The newly identified Pegomastax africanus is a strange new anomaly in the dinosaur world. When it roamed the planet more than 200 million years ago, it was less than 2 feet long and didn't even weigh as much as a housecat--making it one of the smallest dinos ever--and it definitely wasn't as likable as a housecat: despite it probably being a herbivore, it had 1-inch-long fangs and porcupine-style quills.

Thank you, that's very interesting.

It always amazes me that archeologists are able to glean so much information from a skeleton and fossils.

Even though it is tiny, I would not want to run into a flock of these. Memories of those little ones on Jurassic Park come to mind. They looked so harmless, but were scary when they ganged up

His thread IS better than yours. At least he didn't make his thread in a way, where he could get the most out of his stars with just one article. A lot of people do what you do in order to gather as many stars as possible, which I don't mind because I think it's funny and pathetic how people only care about stars.

What you do, and I've noticed many other star whores also do this as well; Is when you guys create a thread your opening post is simply the article and source of whatever it is your presenting. While your second post right after it is your opinion as we all know, 90% of the time the 2nd post in a thread gets quite a few stars if you make a good post.

I think you should click on the link and actually see what you're talking about. The other thread starts off with 1 post containing an excerpt from the article and a link to the article.

The second post is from the OP once more, with his opinion.

Almost as annoying as people who don't check the things they refer to.

Heck, even *I* try to do that before posting.

But as mentioned, the other thread is earlier.

Actually, I didn't plan to create the thread that way. That was the last one I created and the only one that was done in that format. If I cared about stars, I wouldn't be making pointless posts like this or like yours.

You didn't get the point I was trying to make in my post obviously. Read it before making assumptions. I forgot to include that the post should have included his opinion in the original post, only reason why he would make a second post after just posting an article and source for an opening post is just to get more stars. We all know that the second post in the thread has the best chance of getting a lot of stars.

Was a very complicated subject to explain, I don't expect you to understand the first time around.

Yeah yeah, if you says so. I've gotten people to admit that they are star whores when they straight up denied it. Everybody lies.
