| Jurassic Croc |
 |
| After a Jurassic crocodile was unearthed from the Blue Mountains in eastern Oregon last March, retired UO geologist and director of the Thomas Condon State Museum of Fossils, was called in to examine the find. William Orr and collaborators from North American Research Group estimate that the newly found fossil is between 150 to 180 million years old. While such dinosaur fossils are rare in North America, Orr said the discovery suggests that more “must be out there somewhere.” |
