International News Title: Giant prehistoric lizards co-existed with humans While the concept of men battling 16–foot prehistoric lizards sounds like something out of a 50’s sci-fi flick, a new discovery in Australia has revealed that such encounters may have occurred. According to a study appearing in Quaternary Science Reviews, researchers from the University of Queensland have found a tiny fossil that belonged to a giant lizard bone 50,000 years ago, indicating that gigantic reptiles and humans once co–existed. The bone – an osteoderm, which grows under the lizard’s skin and serves as internal body armor – was found in one of the Capricorn Caves near Rockingham, Queensland. According to Queensland University Vertebrate Palaeoecologist Gilbert Price, while the 1 cm bone is tiny, it tells a huge story. “We were really blown away by this discovery!” he told FoxNews.com. “The significance of our finding is that it shows that these big, cold–blooded killers and Australia’s earliest humans were here at the same time.” Price and his team used radiocarbon and uranium thorum techniques to date the bone at younger than 50,000-years old. Naming what giant lizard it came from, however, has proved more of a challenge, though they’ve narrowed it down to a few likely candidates. “Even though the osteoderm is only around 1 cm long, we can tell that it’s from a huge lizard, either the Komodo Dragon or an even bigger species called Megalania Prisca,” Price explained. “Most people might not realize that Komodos used to roam all over Australia - in fact, the oldest fossil records suggest that they actually evolved here, some 3.5 million years ago.” The now–extinct Megalinia, the bigger of the two species, measured between 11 and 16– feet long and thrived in eastern Australia, roaming its forests and grasslands. Using its sharp, curved teeth, the giant reptile fed on a diet of snakes, birds, other reptiles and large mammals. Naturally, this raises the question of whether or not humans were on its grocery list. Price says that while the human/giant prehistoric lizard relationship is still an unknown, he would be surprised if there weren’t regular encounters. Poster Comment: Good and bad information here. Bad information is their bullshit ciruclar reasoning in their dating. Ignore that. The truth is what Christians have known for generations. Humans and dinosaurs, lizards were created days apart so of course they walked the earth at the same time. Duh! Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest But, as a species, we have only been in existence for about 5,000 years, Stone. There is no mention of dinosaurs in the Bible, either.
#2. To: buckeroo (#1) Bucky, what is your point? Psalm 37 #3. To: Don (#2) Donnie, the Bible is not mentioned so the contents of the article is false.
#4. To: Don (#2) There is no mention of dinosaurs in the Bible, either. Actually there are at least two mentions. If you ask nicely I will share them with you. Or you can remain willingly ignorant.
#5. To: buckeroo (#4) The above comment was meant for you.
#6. To: A K A Stone (#5) Don't worry, Stone. I caught your error immediately after your post. Are you being hacked today?
#7. To: A K A Stone (#4) Or you can remain willingly ignorant. Good one! Kettle, meet Pot.

#9. To: A K A Stone, Fred Mertz (#8) What am I willingly ignorant of ....? Although I can't speak for fred, I believe you are talking about your open kimono on publick display. In effect, you speak with "fork tongue."
#10. To: buckeroo (#9) Willingly ignorant ye shall remain.
#11. To: A K A Stone (#0) (Edited) “Even though the osteoderm is only around 1 cm long, we can tell that it’s from a huge lizard, either the Komodo Dragon or an even bigger species called Megalania Prisca,” Price explained. Komodo Dragons still exist. "The Komodo dragon's saliva is saturated with bacteria that create a massive infection that overwhelms the victim's body, causing organ failure and eventual death."
#12. To: A K A Stone (#0) Giant prehistoric lizards co-existed with humans How can they be both preshistoric,and sharing Earth with humans at the same time? The truth is what Christians have known for generations. Humans and dinosaurs, lizards were created days apart so of course they walked the earth at the same time. Duh! ROFLMAO! "DUH",indeed!

#15. To: sneakypete (#13) Are the natives in the area where they exist too freaking lazy to kill them all off? They just avoid them. I hope nobody like you will exterminate them.
#16. To: A Pole (#15) I hope nobody like you will exterminate them. They are cold blooded reptiles that will eat pets,children,and even slow adults. They can't be tamed or trained,and they can't be allowed to co-exist around people. Any that get anywhere near me will die quickly.

I would recommend to you that you take care of "cold blooded reptiles that will eat pets,children,and even slow adults" in Florida before you start humanitarian intervention in a far away land with name you cannot spell.

He was going to come for a visit, and planned to bring his pet rattlesnake, and his pet tarantula. Yeah, I know, he is a couple cans short of a 6 pack. I told him he was welcome, but the varmints were not. He argued with me, that it would be OK. He is quite hard headed, and slow. I finally got tired of the back & forth and told him that if he showed up, that I would kill them before he got out of the car, and would burn his car to make sure. He got the message, and has never been here. That was 10 years ago.
