Jive Turkey bones found in Utah



New dinosaur discovered in southern Utah resembles large turkey
---------------------------------------------
Fossils discovered in southern Utah are from a new species of birdlike
dinosaur 
that resembled a 7-foot-tall brightly colored turkey and could run up to
25 
mph, scientists said Tuesday. Fossils of the meat-eater's hand-like claw
and 
foot were found in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument near
the 
Arizona border, giving paleontologists reason to believe some dinosaurs
known 
as raptors roamed from Canada to northern New Mexico about 75 million
years 
ago.
