Fossil of rare species of toothless dinosaur discovered in Australia

A disaur fossil in Australia has reportedly been identified by scientists as a rare, toothless disaur that existed nearly 110 million years ago. fossil was discovered by Jessica Parker, a volunteer, who dug it as a part of annual dig led by Melbourn Museum. At time of discovery, it was assumed to be of a flying reptile, called Pterosaur, however, upon furr analysis, scientists at Swinburne University found that it was a delicately built disaur.

According to reports, scientists discovered that it was Elaphrosaur, disaur related to Tyransaurus Rex and Velociraptor. Dr  Stephen Poropat, one of scientists, explained furr revealing that Elaphrosaurs h long necks, slumpy arms with small hands and relatively lightly built bodies. five-centimetre vertebrate fossil, which was discovered near Cape Otway, Victoria in 2015 marked  first fossil of species to be found on Australian mainland.

Could grow up to Six metres

recently identified fossil reflected that y were about two metres long. However, previously discovered fossils in China Argentina and Tanzania indicated that Elaphrosaurs could grow up to six metres in length. Scientists have also reckoned that ancient beings, whose names translates to “light-footed lizard,” didn’t eat much meat.

Talking about anatomy of disaur, Dr Poropat said that a few kwn skulls of Elaphrosaurs show that youngsters h teeth, however, ults lost ir teeth and replaced m with beaks. He ded that researchers were unsure if same happened with Australian Elaphrosaurs too.
