New Dinosaur Species Identified from WWII-Destroyed Fossils
- A new species of predatory dinosaur named Tameryraptor Markgrafi has been identified from fossils destroyed during World War II, as reported by researchers from the Bavarian State Collection for Paleontology and Geology and LMU München.
- The dinosaur, approximately 10 meters long, lived in North Africa about 95 million years ago, according to the findings published in the journal PLOS ONE.
- Newly discovered archival photographs revealed significant differences from previously classified Carcharodontosaurus fossils, leading to the identification of this new species, stated Maximilian Kellermann, the study's first author.
- The research suggests that North Africa's dinosaur diversity is greater than previously believed, but more fossils are needed for a comprehensive assessment, as noted by Prof. Oliver Rauhut.
