Oh yeah, and we are supposed to believe this after all the other hoaxes on ancient artifacts and bones by university professors in Japan??? I don't think so...

Great teeth, shame about the rest.

Sharky1 Totally agree. Chinese "professors" also discovered something exciting like this in 1999 and it was also a hoax. Its the year of the anniversary of some bloke called Darwin discovering he was a monkey, or something like that, so we can expect l;unatic "discoveries" like this during the year. They have to earn their dosh somehow....

Yes, expect this dinosaur to miraculously appear in that creationism museum, sitting right next to Adam and Eve.

This fact is actually more interesting than the find itself. Perhaps T-rex teeth break off in the prey at times, similar to sharks, and these teeth were found with the fossil of the herbivorous dinosaur because it was the T-rex's meal. And perhaps T-rex grow replacement teeth just as fast as sharks. Hmm..
