New Dinosaur's Powerful Sniffer Helped It Track Prey

New dinosaur discovered: a doctorate at the University of Pennsylvania to continue, Stephen Jasinski to fulfill a childhood dream.

Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and the state of Pennsylvania Museum curator of paleontology and geology and fossils that caught his eye was found in a review of the museum's collections.

This fossil was originally thought to be a species in the family dromaeosauridae said. Aldromassour Dromaeosaur the dromaeosaur to promote a particular genus, referred to colloquially as the predators:.

A large part of the skull with the structure of the sample is known as the olfactory bulb of the brain, is the unusual. There was a sharp sense of smell suggest the dinosaur Jasinski said.

Researchers have sharp nose to hunt at night, allowing them to potential predator dinosaur, helped competitive. This communication is also keen sense of smell, this can be helped - no dinosaurs and hunt for the animals that live in packs, which is crucial to the chemical signature of pheromones in other dinosaurs, through identification.

Jasinski dictionary definition of the species, which is involved in the holotype, the use of fossil Aldromassour Dromaeosaur than the other samples. Agricultural scientists agree on the sample table of the most representative examples of the animals. Jasinski samples part of the skull in the western United States, Canada, Mongolia, China and Europe than is available, but the fossil is unique. Saurornitholestes sullivani: This is something completely new to announce that he was the reason.

Come alive in the late Cretaceous period is relatively small compared with other species sullivaniwas but his speed and agility, the ability to smell dominant over the other hunters gave him the necessary facilities. It's down to a meal and Tyrannosaur come by and take advantage of food that can be eaten before the fast. 8 of rich, 000-10, 000, 000, 000 years before the death of the dinosaurs, when herbivores and carnivores coexist mix well. At that time, the sea, the continent of North America is divided into: Laramidia right and left of the seas and Appalachia. S sullivani Laramidia lived on the east.

Bring a small dromaeosaur sullivani target or subadults packs so, to bring down most of the large herbivorous animals, such as the duck-billed dinosaur, it would be too much.

Nick Longrich been discovered, Jasinski in the same way that a study of dinosaur mass extinction that wiped out the end of the Cretaceous period, which focuses on the lecturer at the University of Bath, and a new type of dinosaur. He was rummaging through the museum Forget the romantic fantasy is a far cry from fossil Indiana Jones-esque.

He said, "I love the field work done and rugged land, but it is expensive and has a lot of lottery" Longrich Live Science. "Everyone is supposed to be a great way to do science, but failed to tackle the mission does not cover all of National Geographic.

One of the major challenges of the species that once roamed the earth and there are many gaps in our knowledge. Jasinski, for example, scientists have discovered a brand new kind of a toe, said: "The fossil record, if you're in a new area or a new date, and there is a chance there will be a fair individual dinosaur, that is full enough", but this evidence is impossible to identify minute differences may be.
Longrich review and reassessment of the excavation is more common than some others in the group said. "They are the oldest of its new type of research is better than less, because ... I'm willing to bet that there are tons of mysterious small fossil of a new species, and of course the kind of people who said [Jasinski] as if that would be more piecemeal ".

Jasinski samples of his discovery, he neglected to look at in a new light that will inspire others expect.
