D是正确答案.
我想问A错哪儿了. 看CD上已经有的解答时说found没有用分词. found本身不就是分词吗.
Fossils of the arm of a sloth found in Puerto Rico in 1991, and dated at 34 million years old,
主语                                  分词修饰(find分词)                     +分词修饰            后面谓语.

为什么不对？请教！！

一般应该是这样的吧

谢谢！！！也就是说，分词修饰名词只能就近修饰，是没有跳跃修饰这个用法的. 是吗？

是Fossils 被发现而非sloth被发现，found不加逗号就会被误认为形容sloth了······

and后面是一个完整的句子和前一个分句共用主语。因此前面的句子也应该有完整的主谓结构，否则and就是多余的。
但A选项的前一部分就不是完整的句子，所以需要去掉and。
