Tiny Dinosaur Unearthed in North Texas
Scientists from the Perot Museum of Nature and Science have discovered a new species of plant-eating dinosaur in North Texas. The fossil, named Ampelognathus coheni, was initially thought to belong to a small crocodile but was later identified as a new kind of dinosaur. The discovery is significant as small plant-eating dinosaurs had not been found in North Texas before. This finding provides valuable insights into the ecosystem and life in eastern North America 96 million years ago. The scientists believe that more discoveries can be made in the future, shedding light on the region's prehistoric past.
