Beijing, CHINA: China's fossil hunter Xu Xing (2nd L) briefs the media on the discovery of fossilized bones of a gigantic theropod dinosaur, Gigantorraptor Erlianensis, a chicken-like creature as big as Tyrannosaurus, 13 June 2007 in Beijing, after the remains of a gigantic and surprisingly bird-like dinosaur was uncovered in Inner Mongolia. Xu Xing doesn't know how many new species of dinosaurs he has discovered, having lost count, he says, but his skill has gained him international prominence, along with a group of young Chinese scientists, in the field of paleontological research.
