Giant Raptor Found
Scientists have unexpectedly found a new dinosaur that lived millions of years ago in present-day Argentina. Known as the Austroraptor cabazai, this newly-discovered raptor was “slender, carnivorous and two-legged.” It would have stretched out between 16- and 21-feet long.
Mostly smaller raptors have been found in South America, which makes this discovery particularly exciting. But the Austroraptor does have one unusually small feature — the shortest arms of any raptor ever discovered.

I think it is ridiculous how they find a fossil and it’s automatically “millions of years old.” The most reliable form of dating artifacts we have is dendrochronology, (counting tree rings) and that is only accurate up to 8,000 years.
