But Jensen thinks that the bones are sufficiently different to indicate that they belong to an entirely new species. As yet, Jensen's discovery has not been confirmed by other specialists, but he thinks that he can provide even more persuasive evidence. By probing further in the Colorado quarry-"a paleontologist's paradise," he says-Jensen hopes eventually to recover enough bones to reconstruct the entire skeleton of the prehistoric monster...
