Recommended Posts

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.

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.
