New dinosaur, Yueosaurus Tiantaiensis, found in China

Scientists have recognized an innovative species of dinosaur, Yueosaurus Tiantaiensis or "Tiantai Yue Dinosaur," from a fossilized skeleton originate in eastern China.


It took five Chinese and Japanese researchers more than three years of concentrated study to recognize that the frame belonged to a divide species, according to geoscientist Zheng Wenjie of the Zhejiang Museum of Natural History.

They consider it is a before unknown species of ornithischian, or "bird-hipped" dinosaur, that lived throughout the Cretaceous period a number of 100 million years ago. It had a bill, ate plants and was intelligent to run fast on two legs to flee predators, Zheng said.

At concerning 1.5 meters long and less than 1 meter high, Yueosaurus is the minimum dinosaur yet exposed in the region.

Dinosaurs of its type – bipedal, herbivorous runners known as ornithopods – were exceptional in Asia; previously, only four such species had ever been establish on the continent.

Yueosaurus is the fifth new dinosaur species to have been found in Zhejiang.

Dinosaur Might Buried Alive

Sauropodomorph an herbivorous, long necked dinosaur has been discovered at Utah's red rocks.

The dinosaur was seemed to be buried, perhaps while it was still living, via collapsing sand dune.

The buried residue symbolizes the Utah’s oldest most complete dinosaur.

A sand dune was collapsed during the Early Jurassic Period, at Utah's red rocks with such power that it might have buried alive a plant-eating dinosaur, by placing the dead body in the tomb and preserving the dinosaur upside-down for 185 million years, according to a novel published in the journal PLoS ONE.

The dinosaur has been named as Seitaad ruessi in which the first word represents a Navajo creation legend sand-desert monstrous that consumed individuals in the dunes. The next word honors the artist and explorer Everett Ruess, who died strangely at the age of 20 in the similar area during the 1930s.

Ruess' body has not at all been found, but the fossils of the original dinosaur froze the animal's ultimate moments. A CT scan makes known that the dinosaur was missing a particular toe and a lower leg bone, suggesting that it either died and was shortly thereafter swallow up by a collapsing sand dune, or was buried alive.

Plesiosaur – Gives Single Birth in Water

Plesiosaur a kind of dinosaur is defined as one which has a giant, long-necked swimming reptile and has been lived for a period of about 78 million years ago. It is a kind of carnivorous marine reptile.

After the detection of plesiosaurs, it is said that it resembles a snake threaded through the shell of a turtle, even though they had no shell. Their skeletons were first found in England by Mary Anning before the period of early 19th century. And it is the first fossil vertebrates to be illustrated by science.

This unique dinosaur has determined a long-held secrecy about the animals and how they reproduced.

As per the scientists those marine livings of ancient seas such as modern whales and dolphins are actually gave birth to their newborns beneath the water one at a time, and could have cared for them much as modern whales do.

Many creatures in the marine reptile world of that period shows that they gave birth to a dozen or more at a time but plesiosaur is the first to show proof of a single birth and only in the water, according to the paleontologists.

Outsized Species

The Zhuchengtyrannus magnus, a newly revealed giant theropod from China, is considered to be the biggest plant-eating dinosaurs forever identified by paleontologists.

Its enormous dimensions draw closer in at four meters tall and 11 meters long and its weight is around 6 tonnes.

Magnus was an element of the tyrannosaurines collection immense, bipedal theropods like the Asian Tarbosaurus.

It is believed to be roamed around North America and eastern Asia all through the late Cretaceous Period which is about 99 to 65 million years ago.

Zhuchengtyrannus is recognized by its exclusive characteristics in its skull and teeth.

It was originated in the Chinese city of Zhucheng which lies in the eastern Shandong Province.

This tyrannosaurine, along with the T. rex, fit into a group of massive theropods known as “beast-footed” dinosaurs.

They were called so since they known for their bone-crushing jaws.

Detection of T-Rex’s kin

The sixth member of the Tyrannosaurus relations which is about 11 meters long called as small cousin of T-Rex was discovered in London.

A fresh dinosaur species that resembles the well-known marauder has been discovered in China by an Irish biologist.

Dr David Hone, a lecturer at UCD's School of Biology and Environmental Science, chief of an international team of scientists including one of the world's foremost paleontologists who newly recognized the new dinosaur.

Their conclusions will be in print in the scientific journal Cretaceous Research.
The new dinosaur Zhuchengtyrannus magnus remains were found after the area in Shangong province in eastern China.

After the foundation of the fractional skull and jawbones scientists consider that the creature would measured 11 meters long, stood four meters high and weighed almost six tonnes similar in size to the infamous T-Rex.
It is also believed to be one of the largest rapacious carnivores ever known by the scientists.

Along with this new one another species Asian Tarbosaurus by name joins an elite club of gigantic dinosaurs called tyrannosaurines that are whispered to have roamed North America and eastern Asia during the late Cretaceous Period between 65 and 99 million years ago.

They were gigantic beasts characterized by huge bone-crushing jaws, small arms and two-fingered hands.

Dr Hone said that it is hard explain he overall size of this animal with some skull and jawbones.

He also added that the frame is few centimeters smaller than the equivalent ones in the largest T-Rex specimen. So there is no distrust that Zhuchengtyrannus was a huge tyrannosaurine.

He said that the new dinosaur can be renowned from a new tyrannosaurines by a combination of exceptional features in the skull.

The new genus was named as Zhuchengtyrannus magnus which gives the meaning as Tyrant from Zhucheng

Dinosaur with distinctive cranial crown

Lambeosaurus a hadrosaurid dinosaur lived about 76 to 75 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous Period in the region of North America. This bipedal or quadrupedal, plant-eating dinosaur was recognized for its unique concave cranial crest It is about 15 meters long. The Mexican species L. laticaudus was considered to be one of the highest ornithischians.

Lambeosaurus was tardily described by William Parks in 1923.Twenty years later the first matter was premeditated by Lawrence Lambe. The genus had a difficult taxonomic record since small-bodied cranial hadrosaurid were recognized as infantile and thought to belong to own genera and species. At present, a variety of skulls are allocated to the type species L. lambei and the interpretation shows the age differences and sexual dimorphism between the skulls.

Lambeosaurus directly relates to a species name Corythosaurus, which is found vaguely in older rocks. All had strange crests, which are served for some social functions like noisemaking and identification. Lambeosaurus was pretty parallel to the famous Corythosaurus in everything except in the form of the head decoration. In comparison with Corythosaurus, the crown of Lambeosaurus was moved ahead, and the concave nasal passages are at the front of the crest and stacked vertically.

Lambeosaurus move on two legs as well as with four which is exposed by footprints of related animals. It had an elongated tail stiffened by hardened tendons that is used to prevent it from sagging. The hands consist of four fingers lacking the innermost one of the comprehensive five-fingered tetrapod hand. The second, third, and fourth fingers were clustered together with weary hooves suggesting that the animal could use the hands for sustain. The fifth finger was liberated and used to work on some objects. Each foot of Lambeosaurus had only three central toes.
