For more than a century, paleontologists have been exploring the Hell Creek Formation in western North America to search for new dinosaurs. These rocks preserve some of the last non-avian dinosaurs before the fifth mass extinction on Earth, including icons like Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops. Now, experts have discovered a new dinosaur species from the Cretaceous layer, a turkey-sized creature initially thought to be a young example of a different dinosaur.
Named Eoneophron infernalis and described on Wednesday in PLOS One, the creature is a member of a mysterious group of bird-like dinosaurs called caenagnathids.
"His discovery helps provide a more complete picture of life on Earth in the days before the famous asteroid attack 66 million years ago. Scientists essentially identified E. infernalis by closely examining its hind limbs, from the thigh bone to the base of the foot."
Caenagnathid dinosaurs are closely related to dinosaurs like Oviraptor in Mongolia, although their fossils in North America are limited and often consist only of a few skeletal parts. Nevertheless, a fossil called the "chicken from hell," discovered ten years ago, finally provides more detailed insights for paleontologists about this family.
Known as Anzu, this dinosaur has a size comparable to caenagnathid, as tall as an ostrich with a long tail. Anzu is the most complete dinosaur of its kind found in the Hell Creek Formation. Initially, when paleontologists discovered smaller caenagnathid bones, they seemed to come from young Anzu.
When paleontologist Gregory Funston from the Royal Ontario Museum was contacted about some caenagnathid bones found in Hell Creek, it turned out that the foot belonged to the famous Hell Creek chicken. "Initially, my colleagues and I thought that the bones must have come from a juvenile Anzu because they were smaller than other specimens but larger than the species mentioned in 2001," said Funston. However, when Funston and his co-authors examined microscopic details inside the bones, they found evidence that the foot represented a new species.
Different bone networks indicate rapid, slow, or halted growth, for example, and many dinosaur specimens show rings since their growth slowed during difficult seasons.
The following is the English translation of the given 'Bahasa' text while preserving any HTML tags: "Details within the dinosaur bones help experts estimate the age of the animal when it died and at what stage of life, which is key to realizing that Eoneophron is a new species."
