Utah fossils fill in gap in history of dinosaurs
In Emery County Utah researchers report about 6 000 fossils of 80 types dated to 100 million years ago. The find suggests long necked sauropods declined allowing low level feeders and herbivorous niches to rise as horned and armored dinosaurs diversified. The study notes many new Utah specimens trace to Asia and indicate Tyrannosaurus rex evolved from Asian ancestors in the Americas.
