"New Ceratosaur Species Unearthed by Paleontologists"
Paleontologists have discovered a new species of ceratosaur, Kiyacursor longipes, in Siberia, extending the known presence of Ceratosauria in Asia by 40 million years. This small predatory dinosaur, part of the Noasauridae family, lived between 121 and 113 million years ago and had unique hind limb proportions suggesting improved running ability. The discovery, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, highlights an unusual vertebrate assemblage in the region during the Early Cretaceous epoch.
