Crocodiles are like great white sharks, they've basically been around since the time of dinosaurs.

Scientists have found out that ancient crocs and dinos didn't really get along too well.

Did they find angry messages scratched into rock??

Nope! They discovered croc teeth… still stuck into dino bones!!

Scientists have actually found the mummified remains of a Hadrosaur.

That means that some of its skin was actually intact!

So now using a gross, burnt, smashed chicken, scientists were somehow able to come up with a good idea for what the dinosaur's skin might have actually looked like.

Check out the above video to see them working on a computer rendering of a real life Hadrosaur.

…in the basement of their own museum!

Yup, paleontologists from Britain's Natural History Museum just discovered a new species of dinosaur hiding in their basement.

The bones are of herbivores from the same family as the Triceratops, called Spinops sternbergorum.

The bones were found along with a large group of fossils in a "bone bed" in Alberta, Canada in 1916.

But the museum's keeper of geology at the time said the bones were "rubbish" so they lay in the basement from almost 100 years until they were rediscovered by a current group of researchers.

The scientist who led the team said:

"I knew right away that these fossils were something unusual, and it was very exciting to learn about their convoluted history.

Here we have not just one, but multiple individuals of the same species, so we’re confident that it’s not just an odd example of a previously known species."

That's got to be a fun thing to stumble across.

They didn't even need to dig or use those little dust brushes or anything.

Score one for modern science!
