Bizarre hands discovered on new theropod dinosaur

A new species of theropod dinosaur, Migmanychion laiyang, has been identified by a team of archaeologists and paleontologists in China. The dinosaur fossil was found in Inner Mongolia and is believed to have lived approximately 121 million years ago. The newly discovered dinosaur has a unique hand structure different from all other known theropods and is reminiscent of oviraptorosaurs and therizinosauroids. The researchers suggest that M. laiyang likely evolved separately from lineages that led to modern birds.
