Aussie researchers brand new dinosaur species

SYDNEY: A new dinosaur class has been detected and named by Australian researchers, a decade after a hoary was unearthed.

The dinosaur stays go to “Akainacephalus johnsoni,” a herbivore about 5 meters prolonged with peaked armor, 4 legs and club-like tail that belongs to a Ankylosaurid family and lived some-more than 75 million years ago, internal media quoted James Cook University researcher Jelle Wiersma as observant on Friday.

The name is subsequent from Greek, referring to thorn or spike and head.

The dinosaur stays were unclosed in Utah in a United States a decade ago and paleontologists have given been study a find.

About 76 million years ago, Utah was hot, humid, crisscrossed by slow-moving rivers and streams and swamps, with vast cypress-like conifer trees, pronounced Wiersma, who led a news on a new species.

“It had a whole horde of plants and animals vital on land and in a H2O that are really opposite from today’s flora and fauna.”

“We benefit some-more discernment into a farrago of life during that time … and it helps us to improved know complicated environments as well.”

The Akainacephalus skeleton is set for arrangement during a Natural History Museum of Utah this week.—APP
