Possible Early Trey Gowdy dinosaur discovered in Australia

Unusual 'toothless' dinosaur discovered in Australia

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.'
