The impression of the artist by Masso HatoreScientists have discovered a rare new type of dinosaurs consisting of two
The species, named after Duonychus Tsogtbaaari, were unique within a group of dinosaurs called Thezinosaurs, which was standing on their back legs and usually had three claws.
It was average size, with an estimated weight of 260 kg.
Researchers believe that long and curved claws of species and their ability to fold them strongly may make them from vegetation effective.
Yoshi Kobayshi, Hokkaido UniversityTheerizinosaurs was a group of dinosaurs, the heropod or comprehensive, which lived in Asia and North America during the Cretaceous period, which started 145 million years ago and ended 66 million years ago.
It is embodied by the huge shape that dates back to a long time. It appeared in the movie Juerasic World Dominion, and they were “embarrassing appearance”, according to one of the authors of the study, Dr. Darla Zellingski, a professor participating at Calgary University.
The sample was recovered from the formation of BayanSHiree in the Mongolia desert, which dates back to the late Cretaceous era (between 100.5 to 66 million years).
UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, describes the Mongolian Jobi Desert the largest dinosaur fossil reservoir in the world.
The region is a particularly important source of excavations from the subsequent chalk era, and it is the last of the three main periods of the era of dinosaurs, which represents the final stage of the development of dinosaurs.
Kobayashi et alAlmost equally, the claws themselves were much larger than their primary bone, the study was revealed.
Besides constipation better, the hands with fingers may be used to display, pits, or huge weapons.
The most famous bars diodes are the species within the Tyrannosaurids collection, which includes Tyrannosaurus Rex, but Duonychus has evolved with her fingers separately from them and from therododa other fingers.
The sample also maintains the first corneal sheath of theerizinosaur, an element that covers the claw very similar to human nails, defense, movement, or prey.
