A new species of theropod dinosaur, Migmanychion laiyang, has been discovered in China after the discovery of a fossilized hand, partial ribcage, and limb. The fossils are believed to be 121 million years old and come from the Maniraptora family, an early ancestor to birds. The unique structure of the fossils has led researchers to believe that this is a never-before-discovered species.
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.
