• Fragments of Unknown Dinosaur Discovered in Chile
  • A 7-year-old boy in Chile discovered bone fragments of a previously unknown dinosaur. Named Chilesaurus diegosuarezi — after the country and the boy, Diego Suárez — the new dinosaur is closely related to Tyrannosaurus rex but was an herbivore. Chilesaurus was about the size of a turkey, had unusually short arms, a long neck, a small head and leaf-shaped teeth. Diego found the bones while accompanying his parents, the geologists Manuel Suarez and Rita de la Cruz, as they studied rocks in Chilean Patagonia.
