"The fossil, weighing some 19 pounds, was found in the cargo hold of the bus, which was headed for the capital of Lima, and had been sent on the bus company's package service."
"They began to check the package because it didn't have anything to indicate what was inside. They were worried about its weight, opened it and found the fossil."

So by dating this fossil relative to the strata surrounding it (ie. the bus) we can conclude the dinosaur in question is no older than 15 to 20 years. A triumph for the young earth types.

  How soon can we expect to hear the Creation Museum making bids on this bus?

They should call dinosaurs "mudslidesaurs", since so many of them became trapped in mudslides.

  How about "sweetansaurs"? Not for any scientific reason, just because it's tasty.

The dinosaur bought his own ticket, but Peruvian buses are notoriously s-l-o-w.
