    That's amazing. There were still dinosaurs running around at that time. Funny how the mice evolved into Mino Monta and the rest of the human race and the T-Rex ended up as Kentucky Fried Chicken.

    Did it belong to the LDP?

    I lived in Sasayama a long, long time ago. I knew the place was old, but wow...

    Wow, this fossil is almost as old as the ruling government party here in Japan. Not to mention their education system and inequality practices in the workplace!

    What isn't mentioned above is that the fossil was found by an amateur Japanese researcher. My guess? It'll take a month tops before paleontologists from other countries discredit this claim, like so many others.

    There was a 130 million-year-old fossil found in Ishikawa prefecture about 6 or 7 years ago. A plant-eating lizard, if memory serves.

    Does the fossil found in Hyogo have a name? That would go a long way in helping people do further research into the other similar fossils found in Britain and Portugal.
