Scientists discover weird Mongolian dinosaur that wielded ‘sharp, huge’ claws
Scientists have discovered new Types of dinosaurs In Gobi Gobi Desert. The name Duonychus TsogtbaaAratiDinosaur contains equal clashes, which is less than his colleague theerizinosauria.
Duonychus, which means violators in Greek, stood by about 10 feet and weighs about 570 lbs, and belongs to A group of dinosaurs Therizinosaurs, which was distinguished A strange set of features: The huge claws that are believed to be used to cut the leaves from the trees, the teeth in the form of a sheet, the backward hip bones, and a long neck ending in a small head, covered with feathers similar to calm.
“This is a type of dawn,” Yoshitsogo Kobayashi, the main author of a study published on Tuesday in Iscience magazine And associate professor at the Hokkaido University Museum, he told NBC News. “I felt this excitement, like,” wait … am I really looking at something new here? “
Kobayshi said that Terizinosaurs was “the strangest dinosaurs there.” “Duonychus takes this strangeness and pushes it further. It is like development, he said,” Let’s try something different, “and ran with it.”
Classes belong to Duonychus Tsogtbaaari, which was discovered in Mongolia.
theerizinosaurs Long live in Asia and north america During the Cretaceous period, 145 million to 66 million years ago.
Although there are only violators, Duonychus was “effective Grasper” could reach branches or areas of plants of about 5 inches.
“The dinosaurs were not stuck in a single body plan – they were constantly experimenting, developing, doing strange things,” Kobayashi added, describing them as “Total Oddbals”.
Darla Zellingski, author of the study and associate professor at Calgary University in Canada, described Duonychus claws as “sharp and huge”, about one foot.
Zelintsky said in an e -mail on Wednesday, adding that claws can also have claws also other jobs such as self -defense or struggle in an email on Wednesday, adding that claws can have other functions such as self -defense or struggle in an email on Wednesday, adding that claws can have other functions such as self -defense or struggle.
Although theerizinosaurs was part of the theroPOD group, which included eating meat like Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus, Duonychus mainly ate papers of large bushes and trees.
The sample was drilled in 2012 by researchers from the Mongolian Academy of Science Academy from the formation of the Gobi Desert’s Bayanshire, dating back 90 million years and is known for its exceptional variety in Thezinosaurs.
Al -Hafriya was a partial skeleton without a skull and legs, but the hands were preserved “exceptionally”, according to the study. Duonychus was not completely ripe.
“A wonderful new discovery, and the two clans are interesting.”
Benton said on Wednesday that the dinosaurs had five fingers, just like humans, but they soon lost two over time, with most dinosaurs three fingers.
“Therefore, the descent to two was unusual,” he said.
Benton said that the number of numbers does not matter when it comes to confirmation and clouds, adding that the third finger may be “unwanted” because of its short length.
The fossil records of Theerizinosauria “significantly abundant” in the chalk deposits throughout East Asia, especially in Mongolia and China, according to the study.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) called the Mongolian Jobi Desert, “the largest dinosaur fossil reservoir in the world.”
