DINOSAUR REMAINS FROM IRELAND
Fifth Class, Mother of Divine Grace Primary School, Dublin
Several bones found by an amateur collector on the coast of Northern Ireland are from dinosaurs.
Roger Byrne found the bones in Lower Jurassic mudstones.
The first bones were found more than 20 years ago.
More recently bones from a dinosaur thought to be a Scelidosaurus were found.
A paper describing these is currently in preparation by Mark Simms (of the Ulster Museum) and Roger Byrne.
The specimens themselves are currently on display in the Ulster Museum's Dinosaur Gallery.
The original article was written by Matthew Parkes, Dublin. We found the information on: http://www.cmnh.org/dinoarch/2001Nov/msg00563.html. We found more information on the Enchanted Learning Website at: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/dinosaurs/questions/old/Qns01Juna.shtml
