Carnoferox Posted July 10, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) The paravian dinosaur Hesperornithoides meissleri from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation of Wyoming has been described in a new paper. It had been informally known only as "Lori" for over a decade, so I and many others are understandably excited that it has finally been published. I had the pleasure of seeing the holotype of this species at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center, and I can say that it is a beautiful specimen. https://peerj.com/articles/7247/ https://theropoddatabase.blogspot.com/2019/07/lori-published-meet-hesperornithoides.html https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/discovery-raptor-dinosaur-adds-new-wrinkle-origin-birds-180972588/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/07/new-dinosaur-species-velociraptor-cousin-lori-may-upend-flight-evolution-theories/ Edited July 10, 2019 by Carnoferox 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
