New Dinosaur Species
By: Anita
Two new dinosaur species have been discovered by scientists in Salt Lake City, Utah. The dinosaurs are closely related to Triceratops, and they are named Kosmoceratops and Utahceratops. The Kosmoceratops has 15 horns and a big head, while the Utahceratops has five horns and it is the larger dinosaur. The Utahceratops has a large horn over it's nose and short eye horns that look similar to a bison. Its skull is about 7 feet long, it is about 6 feet high and was 18 to 22 feet long. It is believed to have weighed about 3 to 4 tons. The Kosmoceratops has similar features as the Utahceratops, but has 10 horns across it's frill that point downward. It has the most decorative head in all the dinosaurs. It weighed about 2.5 tons and was about 15 feet long. I think this is an amazing discovery because the scientists found such huge dinosaurs and there are many fascinating facts about them. Do you think these dinosaurs are interesting? Why or why not?

I think the new dinosaurs are very interesting because it is fun to learn about newly discovered dinosaurs that are so different from the other dinosaurs that we know about. The new dinosaurs remind me of the Triceratops and that is my favorite dinosaur. I can't wait to learn more about these new dinosaurs.
I think that the new find is interesting.I already have lots of questions. For example 'Did they find all the bones to it?'I am exited about the new discovery and want to see the fossil. All in all,the find is great!
I think theese dinisaurs are intresting because the Kosmoceratops has 15 horns and the Utahceratops has a large horn over it's nose and short eye horns.

Yes, these dinosaurs are very interesting. I think the Utahceratops was named because it was found in Utah. It is surprising that one dinosaur can have fifteen horns! I find it intriguing that these new species are related to the triceratops, which has similar features. I wonder if they are going to put these fossils in a museum for the public to see. Did you know that dinosaur means tyrant or giant lizard?
I that these dinosaurs are really interesting for 3 reasons.First they were found in the same city. It is interesting that they might have had a species cousin relation. Second, I am interested in the past and I am not saying human history, I am saying Earth's history so I am exited and suprised. Last,it might be obvious to some people that their enemy was the T-Rex but I think they had no enemys just "unexpected" visitors because of their hieght and their weight so it is fasinating. That is why these types of dinosaurs are interesting to me.

They are pretty interesting. New types of dinosaurs are always interesting. There are hundreds of different dinosauars, but new ones are always welcome. It's so cool that they WERE living, but we just discovered them now. They are so young and so old at the same time.
I think that they are interesting because they have so many horns and are so decorative. Most land dinosaurs aren't so decorative and don't have that many horns.
I think the new dinosaur discovery was very interesting because normally a dinosaur wouldn't have 15 horns on one head. A skull of a Utahceratops would be 7 feet almost as big as the tallest person on earth in length. I am very interested in any fossil of an animal. That is why I think these dinosaurs are interesting.
I think this is important because than people will know different types of dinosaurs. It is also important because scientists need to get information to find new things.
I think this is interesting because new dinosaur findings are very cool because they are a new species,like a new kind.It was super scary when I saw your post about the Kosmoceratops,I was suprised .It said it was 15 feet long, weighs 2.5 tons,and has ten horns!I am also suprised that the Utahceratops skull is 7 feet long,6 feet high,was 18 to 22 feet long,and weighs 3 to 4 pounds!
I think the discovery of these amazing animals was very amazing. The paleontologist who discovered them must of been very smart because he found out what they looked like, how much they weighed, and how big they were. I think that it is really amazing how they found out how a pile of bones can be a dinosaur and how you should put it together. I wonder how they can tell that it was a new species of dinosaur than just calling it an interesting looking triceratops.
I think the dinosaurs are cool because they are these mysterious creatures that eat plants and meat.They have cool creations on there body like scales,horns and giant crushing teeth.There were Dinosaurs in all tipes of sizes well TRex is really big.Lots of volcanoes erupted that time,cavemen was living in caves so the dinosaurs won't have them for lunch!Baby dinosaur eggs are as small as duck eggs and when they hatch they look so cute.Sad thing is that when there is a rampage the animals step on the eggs.Dinosaurs are really fast.Most fast in catching prey.Some dinosaurs live in the water and fly in the sky.There lots of kinds of cool thing's about dinosaurs I would love to share them in class!
I think these new dinosaurs species are very interesting because then we can study the new species and see how they are related to other dinosaurs; like the new species are related to the Triceratops. I find these new species very interesting because we can learn about how they act and what there enemies are. Overall, I think these new dinosaur species are fantastic!
Nice post Anita!
I think the new dinosaurs are very interesting because I mean 15 horns on one head!!! That's plenty. Plus, it weighing 3 to 4 pounds, it could squish an elephant.
I think dinosaurs are very intresting, because all of their fossils seem very fasinating. I would enjoy lerning more about dinosaurs. Some of my friends don't know how dinosaurs got exstinked, but I want to know the truth.
I think that the new find is very interesting because the Kosmoceratops has fifteen horns with a big head and the Utahceratops has five horns but is a larger dinosaur. I really have lots of questions to ask about it. It was suprising that Utahceratops was from Utah. I thimk that dinosaurs finds are really interesting.
I think the find is intresting because the dinosaurs are new.I also think the find is intresting because I love dinosaurs.I have many questions for it.
