People who are crazy to know about dinosaur facts
have one more species to get added up to their dinosaur tracking list. Yes, a
new type of dinosaur species has been unearthed in Venezuela; believed to be a part
of Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Already we
knew Tyrannosaurus is generally referred to predator species that has
comparatively gigantic structure compared to rest dinosaur species. But, now it
is extremely amazing to know that Tachiraptor
admirabilis is expected to be even larger than the revealed dinosaurs.
Royal Society Open Science journal has recently published information about
this study.
A partial hip bone and complete shinbone with
multiple fractures has been found while excavating a region in Venezuela. The
size of the dinosaur was estimated to grow about 4.9 to 6.5 feet and even
lengthier than estimated. The radiometric dating revealed that Tachiraptor
admirabilis must have lived over 200 million years ago in early Jurassic
period. The species is named Tachiraptor, “Tachira” denotes the place it has
been discovered and “raptor” means thief. The Tachira theif will surely be considered as
a milestone discovery as it could expose still more unpredicted facts about
dinosaurs.
