People who are craze about dinosaurs have one more species to add up in their list. Yes, it is Psittacosaurus sibiricus. This massive parrot-beaked dinosaur has been unearthed by paleontologists in Russia's Kemerovo region in western Siberia. Psittacosaurus sibiricus is believed to be the huge dinosaur that has ever been existed in its own species.
The large scale excavation that has been carried out near Siberia has yielded skeletal fragments of eight dinosaurs that range from small raptors to tall sauropods where this parrot beaked dinosaur as one among the most notable one. It is believed that this species lived in Asia about 130 million years ago.

From the found fossil representation it is has been observed that the dinosaur walked on two legs and had powerful beak on its upper jaw, skull fragments and a vertebra.  The found psittacosaurus sibiricus is considered as a milestone discovery as it could expose still more unpredicted facts about dinosaurs.

A Dinosaur bigger than T.Rex has been unveiled by Researchers!

People who are craze about dinosaurs have one more species to add up in their list. Yes, it is Spinosaurus. This massive dinosaur has been unearthed by paleontologists long years ago in Sahara. Spinosaurus had 3-foot-long jaw with unevenly arranged serrated teeth which is comparatively larger than any other dinosaur species. Researchers have currently revealed the fact that this Spinosaurus is known to be the ever found biggest dinosaur than both T.rex and Gigantosaurus.
As the fossils of this dinosaur have been completely destroyed during the Second World War, the young paleontologist Nizar Ibrahim has gave new life to this species. He actually spotted the fossil remains when he made visit to the Natural History Museum in Milan, where the partial skeleton of the displayed species matched with the observed feature of Spinosaurus. Later, based on the close experimental analysis it is confirmed that the displayed species was Spinosaurus which lived during the Cretaceous Period, over 112 million to 97 million years ago.

Currently, the skeleton model of this species is displayed at the National Geographic Museum in Washington, D.C. The found life-size skeleton model of Spinosaurus will surely be considered as a milestone discovery as it could expose still more unpredicted facts about dinosaurs.
