The Coffee Dinosaur was first discovered in 1997, and was hailed as the missing link between cold-blooded reptiles and coffee. Norwegian scientists discovered what appeared to be a dinosaur's skeletal remains at a site in Trondheim. The scientists immediately named the species the 'Coffee Dinosaur'. At the time, skeptics pointed out that chemical analysis of the bones showed no traces of coffee. However, the Norwegian scientists stated in Scientific American that "in order to be a true scientist, you must not rule something out just because it is not proven to be true. You must consider things that are not unproven. We conclude that the remains of this dinosaur contained much coffee, and the tests we have been using are simply not accurate enough to detect it."

Norwegian scientists discovered what appeared to be a dinosaur's skeletal remains at a site in Trondheim. The scientists immediately named the species the 'Coffee Dinosaur'. At the time, skeptics pointed out that chemical analysis of the bones showed no traces of coffee.

You must consider things that are not unproven. We conclude that the remains of this dinosaur contained much coffee, and the tests we have been using are simply not accurate enough to detect it." The buzz around the discovery led to the team being shortlisted for the Nobel Prize for Dinosaurs in 1998, although they missed out on the grounds that no such category existed.
