A new breed of turkey dinosaurs found in Australia

A part of the herbivorous dinosaur skeleton, just as small as a new turkey was discovered in the 113 million year old rock in southeastern Australia, which could explain the connection between dinosaurs and birds.

The fossil tail and leg bone give a better insight into the diversity of small, bipedal, turkey-sized, grass-eating dinosaurs, wandering to the valley of large fissures, once existing between Australia. and Antarctica.

"This new dinosaur species is named Diluvicursor pickeringi," said David Pickering, Director of the Collection of Biological Archeology at the Victoria Museum in Australia.

A skeleton of Diluvicursor pickeringi was discovered in 2005 by volunteer exploration George Caspar.
Mattil Herne, lead author of the study published in PeerJ magazine, said: "The discovery shows that there are at least two different types of bodies between these dinosaurs. The first lighter dinosaur fossil, yes Long tail, on the other hand, the newest one has a strong, strong body and shorter tail.

The reconstruction of the skeleton of this dinosaur shows that it is capable of running well with strong retracted leg muscles. Its body seems to have been entangled in a crack in the flow of a fast-flowing river.
