In the past weeks, the most striking dinosaur fossil ever was discovered. In fact, this discovered fossil was preserved in its egg for 66 million years. The embryo, which has remained virtually intact for 66 million years, is thought to be of the ‘oviraptosaur’ species.
Also in the past months, scientists in the USA discovered a new horned dinosaur species that lived in New Mexico 82 million years ago. It was even stated that this newly discovered species is the ancestor of triceratops, one of the largest known horned dinosaur species. Now, a new one has been added to the dinosaur species.
Armless dinosaur species were discovered in Argentina
Dinosaur remains found during excavations in Argentina were stated to be in the Guemesia ochoai type. In addition, the fact that this new Guemesia ochoai dinosaur was armless did not go unnoticed, and it was announced that this dinosaur lived in Africa, South America and India about 70 million years ago.
Professor Anjali Goswami, Research Leader and co-author at the Natural History Museum, made the following statement about this discovered dinosaur species; “This new dinosaur species is highly unusual. It has several key features that suggest it is a new species and provides important new information about a region of the world.” The last of the three subsections of the Cretaceous supports the idea of different states during the Cretaceous period. This discovery also shows us that there is much more to be discovered in these regions. We don’t know much about the species mentioned yet.”
To make a little briefing, Argentina is famous for its remains of the Abelisauroidea species. The found remains are also likely to shine a light on the period close to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Published in Vertebrate Paleontology
