Pegomastax dinosaur had a beak, bristles and fangs


www.adelaidenow.com.au
IT had a fanged beak, quills and a face only a mother could love. But this cat-sized dinosaur is causing a sensation among scientists.
The new species of plant-eating dinosaur (though you'd never believe it with those viscious fangs in its mouth) was recently found amid a collection of uncatalogued fossils dug up in southern Africa in the 1960s.

Thanks, even if the OP wasn't very concise or informative, I really do enjoy any new find like this. There is so much us humans still don't know.

I hope this does not turn out to be another Chinese fake fossil.

They have even fools experts for a time. China (and a few other places) are well known for very realistic fossil fakery.

T-Rex was a relative of the chicken.

A comparison by Asara's team of the amino-acid sequence from the T. rex collagen to a database of existing sequences from modern species showed it shared a remarkable similarity to that of chickens.

Using a variety of techniques, the researchers compared the T. rex and mastodon protein sequences with those of 21 living animals, including ostriches, chickens, and alligators.
