Sci.News: Breaking Science News
A team of paleontologists from Portugal, Italy, the United States and Belgium has added another species of herbivorous dinosaur to the prehistoric catalog: Cariocecus bocagei.
Cariocecus bocagei lived in what is now Portugal during the Barremian age of the Cretaceous period, around 125 million years ago.
The new species was a medium-sized iguanodontian, a group of herbivorous dinosaurs with strong bodies and complex teeth.
About 37 cm long, the specimen is the first ever iguanodontian skull from this country.
Cariocecus bocagei, a new basal hadrosauroid from the Lower Cretaceous of Portugal.
