A nearly complete fossil of Joaquinraptor casali from Patagonia reveals insights into late Cretaceous predator diversity, including evidence of crocodile prey, and highlights evolutionary differences from tyrannosaurs, filling gaps in our understanding of dinosaur ecosystems before the mass extinction.
Scientists discovered a new apex predator dinosaur, Joaquinraptor, in Argentina, with a crocodile bone in its jaws, suggesting it was a top predator just before the dinosaurs' extinction. The dinosaur was large, powerful, and part of the megaraptoran family, dating back to around 66-70 million years ago.
Paleontologists in Argentina discovered a new predatory dinosaur, Joaquinraptor casali, with a crocodile bone in its mouth, suggesting it was an apex predator during the late Cretaceous period. The well-preserved fossils indicate it was about 23 feet long, weighed over 2,200 pounds, and lived in a humid floodplain environment, providing new insights into megaraptoran dinosaurs.
A new top predator dinosaur named Joaquinraptor casali was discovered in Argentina, measuring about 23 feet long with powerful claws, and was found with a crocodile leg in its jaws, providing insights into late Cretaceous predator dynamics in South America.
