Researchers in New Mexico recently announced the discovery of a new dinosaur species that roamed the area about 74 million years ago, confirming a find that was more than 40 years in the making.
The New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science released a statement announcing its part in the efforts to help unearth the new species.
“Bisticeratops also would have been a bit smaller, around 5-6 m long and around 2.5–4 tons, making it similar in weight to female African elephants today or smaller males,” according to a press release from Harrisburg University. This latest news comes just a week after South American scientists celebrated the discovery of a new, tiny armored dinosaur species.
“Further investigation into specimens already in museum collections, combined with the collection and research into new specimens being collected, will allow us to understand these dinosaurs to an even greater degree,” Jasinski said in the statement.
