Pregnant scientists have identified a new type of Dromaeaeosaurid dinosaur from a full and joint skeleton found in the 2000s in Mongolia.
The newly identified dinosaur, our planet during the Campian era, wandered between 75 and 72 million years.
Based on many features derived in their skull, vertebrae and skeleton, the species are referred to a group of birds -like dinosaurs called Dromaeosauridae.
Bee SurrendicThis is the second type only in its gender; Other types, DivieIt was described in 2021.
Andrea Cao and his colleagues said: “Dromaeosauridae is a whole from small to medium -sized dinosaurs known from several units of the Cretaceous period from North America, Asia, Europe, South America and at the end Antarctica and Madagascar.”
“Rest -like integration structures, real feathers and digestive remains are found in Dromosurides exceptionally preserved from the lower biotta in the northeast of the East (for example Daurlong perfumeand Sinornithosaurus Minieniiand Microptor Zhaoianus). “
“Along with Trodontids, the worldly darfosydids are the closest relative of birds between dinosaurs.”
Full skeleton Surrendic It is likely to be present in Djadokhta Training From Mongolia.
“This Dromaeaeosaurid sample was illegally listed before 2010, then it was kept in special groups in Japan and England before the French company obtained it EldoniaThe excavation scholars said.
“The exact area of the sample is unknown.”
“Based on the documents associated with the sample, we refer to it initially to Ukhaa Tolgod, Mongolia.”
Holotype from Surrendic In 2010, before preparing at the Belgian Royal Institute of Natural Sciences; The arrow indicates the individual thigh bone that was rebuilt using elements of both the thigh (separated elements during preparation).

Surrendic He had a strange mixture of vertebral and pelvic features as well as exceptionally strong hands.
“The most strange feature of Surrendic The researchers said that the exceptional duration of the hand.
“In particular, when it is limited to the same length, all Pollex elements are approximately 150 % more similar than the similar elements in Djadokhtan Dromaeosaurids, which are more consistent than any other known Dromaeosaurid.”
“We suggest that repeated reactions with Ceratopsians, along with active anti -self -pre -edition, can encourage the development of the most powerful and most powerful forearms stored between some Djadokhtan Velociraptorines.”
“If we assume that Surrendic I shared the predatory behavior for its close closest Velociraptor MongoliensisThe more powerful the most powerful proportions in her hands indicate that it was better to adapt it to target larger and more powerful prey than that usually offered Velociraptor“
