** Scientists Discover New Breed of Dinosaur

to have been 110 million years ago, the 30-foot long species was also said
to have had no fewer than 500 teeth, and a curiously wide mouth

earth Nature was thinking of

The results have only now been published and reveal the Carcharodontosaurus

Thank you for an interesting, useful site. I recommend it to teachers who
