WOW!!!

What a big bones. I think dogs are dont want this bones... 😁

I wonder if it will be a male or female triceratops....oh better yet, one of the other 100 genders that don’t exsist. I am on the edge of my seat in anticipation.

This would be so exciting.

This is a big joke right? They treat very rough.Too white and putting on a track piling!

Riiiiight....

White, masked thugs beat up Asian-American journalist. I thought the media drooled over headlines like that one. Why are they so silent?

Dinosaurs were the first contributors to global warming. When they left a big steaming one...

The stage director of this scene should be fired.

Fake

TonyTodd54 Woah!!!! Oh Auggie needs to see this AnthonySaintTh1 How Effin cool is this

CLEARLY you meant to say 6.8 THOUSAND years, not 68 million. pfft! Also, Jesus rode that dinosaur, so, you know... there's that!

That is amazing!!!

Probably died of Global Warming

Cool

68 million years old? That's almost as old as Donald Trump 😂

_bbsnews Amazing to see

KeiserReport Cute but all common scientist & MSM ignore the giant skulls around the world.. These were not force morph as volume would be same, but they are LARGER. naturally. Also the sutures of skulls are different. Only outside scientist community do DNA checks & outside community ignore

Pre Bible?😁

The earth isn’t that old 🙄

67Millions years and yet Jesus Christ died some thousand years back, WTF kinda world re we living in ?

Oh you guys... you typed '2000 years' wrong

Jurassic Park made paleontology look...different.

面白い✨デンバー近くで化石なのね。6800万年って…

Wait are dinosaurs real? I’m so confused.

I estimate the age estimates of these organisms are very exaggerated

This story can't be true because God created the earth only 7000 years ago. FakeNews

denvern3 the last dinosaur! They dug u up in Denver! 😂😂😂

Y'all getting on my nerves with this fake news. I have more dust on my window sill after a week than the amount of dust that was covering those bones from '68 million years ago'. Yeah. Right. Please. Stop. tictoc nowthisnews NYTScience

The awe in awesome! science awesome

Now that's cool!! 👍

Wow, this is super cool!

too bad that asteroid hit 2 million years after triceratops died otherwise, we will still be mole rats

It’s morphin time

Wow those are huge. God must be testing evangelicals EXTRA hard.

Democrats will blame global warming that killed them all.

Ross Geller is very excited!

Paging Ross Gellar...

Yep 👌

Looks fake

68 million years ago Triceratops was skiing ⛷ when suddenly a volcano 🌋 erupted and buried him. :-(

Religious people...

Almost as primitive as Trump thoughts and ideas

Paging chaostheorhys

Looks like it's always been easy getting stoned in Denver.

Some comments are trying to argue science vs. Bible. That argument doesn't stand. Don't waste your thinking.

What a waste of time & resources. All this to find out about our origins while we turn into hate spreading and the lowest of species? Go on and explain how that will fix humanity?

47_anton JUNGE guck dir an wie riesig so ein Knoche einfach ist

How can they break bedrock They in creative mode or something?

I thought the earth is hardly 7k years old according to the Bible. Let me stick to that.

Why are they hiding their faces?

Wow, i didn't know triceratops is this big! I thought it was as big as an elephant.

Have you ever had a religious person discount theme existence/timeframe of dinosaurs as IMPOSSIBLE? I'm definitely smiling.

GMB amazing!

All the necrophiliacs gathering together to crawl all over a really ol corpse in a beneficial orgy

So cool

It is hard for me to believe that these bones survived these many millions of years that too with do much of changes on earth due to volcanoes, earthquakes, rains etc... How can something survive these many years let alone down below the earth. Quite fascinating though
