Still Waters Posted July 8, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Scientists have identified a new Iguanadon-like dinosaur roughly the size of a U-Haul moving truck from a jawbone fossil that was uncovered in the Castellón, Spain. Up to the 26 feet long, the herbivorous Portellsaurus sosbaynati is closely related to species found in modern-day China and Niger. https://www.cnet.com/news/new-dinosaur-dropped-iguanadon-like-creature-identified-via-spanish-jawbone-find/ https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0253599 Quote Analysis of a fossilised jaw revealed the disturbing details of this strange creature, called Portellsaurus sosbaynati, say experts from Jaume I University, Valencia. It was over 26ft long with a deadly spike protruding from the end of its thumb and five 'razor-sharp fingers,' giving it claws resembling Edward Scissorhands. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9765211/Dinosaur-razor-sharp-claws-like-Swiss-Army-knife-roamed-Spain-130-million-years-ago.html 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
