Tyrannosaurus Rex Mini ancestors, British beach dinosaur fossils found. According to foreign media reports, at present, a dinosaur fossils found in England Welsh County Beach accident, proved to be living in two hundred million years ago, Rex "mini ancestors", only 50 cm tall, the earliest carnivorous dinosaur species found in the area at the same time. What the hell is going on here? Let Xiaobian show you today.
This dinosaur fossil foot is a department of paleontology students found, found the place located in Welsh County Ravi Merkel beach, it is found that before the place part of the same dinosaur bones are considered so far found in the earliest Jurassic period dinosaur fossils. Although this dinosaur has no wings, like the legend of the fire.
But it was the first carnivorous dinosaur to be found in the Welsh area. Discoverer Sam - Davies (Sam) is a junior student at University of Portsmouth,, he was walking on foot discovered the dinosaur foot fossils, fossils embedded in a 20 cm sized rock.
Davies said: "this is clearly the ancient biological fossil, at first I guess it may be a plesiosaur fossil bones." Experts check this dinosaur foot fossils inferred that it belongs to last year found the same beast foot dinosaur fossils, cliff rock fell off to the beach.
This dinosaur lived about two hundred million years ago, is a mini Tyrannosaurus species, may be only height of 50 cm, with a saw blade like teeth. Researchers point out that it is the ancient ancestors of larger Tyrannosaurus Rex, Tyrannosaurus lived in 0.85-0.65 billion years ago.
The dinosaur species and coelurosaurs are closely related, the latter life in about 2.03-1.96 million years ago in the American southwest. This dinosaur bone fossils found only one millionth of the probability, highlighting the importance of British fossils search work. This new dinosaur species will help us describe dinosaur foot evolutionary history, especially the number of toes and ankle bone structure.
Rex "mini ancestors lived 201 million years ago when the dinosaurs began to appear in the early Jurassic, evolutionary diversity, life in today's Welsh area" mini Tyrannosaurus ancestor "is almost the world's earliest Jurassic dinosaur. At that time Welsh is a coastal area, with warm climate, the dinosaur species likely with primitive feathers, its main function is to heat insulation and anisotropic show, there may be a simple defense function, similar to a porcupine quill.
