merit on what may have sparked
the blaze.
Customs seize 77
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A two-
alarm fire forced the Los Angeles
Lakers to evacuate their hotel Mon
day night.
Firefighters put out a small fire
that started in the basement of La
Mansion Del Rio Hotel, along the
San Antonio Riverwalk. The Lakers
were staying there for Tuesday
night’s game against the San Anto
nio Spurs.
The fire was mainly an inconve
nience, and no injuries were re
ported.
Although all of the hotel’s nearly
200 guests had to huddle outside
for about an hour, the smoke
cleared and they were allowed to re
turn to stay the night.

Scientist finds fossil
DALLAS (AP) — In a state that
prides itselfon all things big, it’s only fit
ting that scientists are happy about their
latest discovery in Dallas: the largest di
nosaur fossil ever found in Texas — and
the world’s largest plant-eating, four-
footed dinosaur from the late Cretaceous
Period.
Scientists from the University of
Texas -Dallas uncovered the fossil in Big
Bend National Park in far southwestern
Texas, bordering Mexico along the Rio
Grande River.
The bones are either those of an un
usually large member of a dinosaur fam
ily known as alamosaurus or an entirely
new species, according to James Carter
of UTD’s department of geosciences,
who found the first fossilized fragments
of the animal’s neck.
Either way, they lit the classification
of a “superfamily” of herbivorous di
nosaurs called sauropods, which have a
long neck, a tail and a small head.
“Never before has an articulated neck
of this length and quality of preservation
been found anywhere in the world from
the Cretaceous Period,” Carter told T/ic
It is extremely
Dallas Morning New.
rare ”
UTD’s Homer Montgomery and his
students had been excavating the remains
of a juvenile alamosaurus since 1995
when, at a nearby site. Carter discovered
e\ idence of the larger specimen.
The Cretaceous Period extended
from 65 million to 135 million years ago
and was characterized by the develop
ment of flowering plants and the disap
pearance of dinosaurs.
The largest dinosaurs vanished early
in that period and it was believed all had
died out by around 100 million years
ago. Carter said. “That would rival the
giant dinosaurs thought to be extinct b\
the end of the early Cretaceous Period,
some 32 million years earlier.”
A method of removing the bones has
not been determined; and the National
Park Sen ice is conducting an environ
mental impact study.
“We will do an assessment and look
at the options.” said the park service’s
Mark Flippo. He said officials were
considering lifting the bones out by he
licopter.
