PHILADELPHIA — Kenneth Lacovara discovered one of the big stars in the new "Jurassic World Dominion" movie, but he's no talent scout.
He is a paleontologist, and his discovery was the dinosaur Dreadnoughtus — at an earthshaking 65 tons, about as big as movie stars come.
Lacovara was at Drexel University in 2005 when he and colleagues started digging up the bones of the big beast, in the Patagonia region of Argentina. He named it after the dreadnought — the early 20th-century battleship that dreaded nothing — reasoning that a 65-ton creature also would have no fear.
