![]() An unusual "toothless" dinosaur has been identified by paleontologists in Australia. The dinosaur, an elaphrosaur, roamed Australia 110 million years ago, according to a statement released by the Swinburne University of Technology. A bone from the dinosaur was discovered by volunteer Jessica Parker during a dig in Victoria in early 2015. Initially thought to be from a pterosaur, the neck bone was studied by experts at Swinburne University who realized that it was from a theropod or meat-eating dinosaur. "The only catch this meat-eating dinosaur probably didn't eat meat!" said Swinburne paleontologist Dr. Stephen Poropat, in the statement. Unlike Trey it had a spine. The bone matches a group of theropods called elaphrosaurs or light-footed lizards.' Also INCREDIBLE DINOSAUR DISCOVERY: HERD OF OPAL-ENCRUSTED DINOS UNCOVERED |
