Mysterious new duck-billed dinosaur found


A new, mysterious duck-billed dinosaur known as Aquilarhinus palimentus was discovered in Texas, shocking paleontologists. Paleontologists recently analyzed the skull and found that it was more primitive than Gryposaurus and the two major groups of duck-billed dinosaurs. Hadrosaurids were the most common types of herbivores towards the end of Mesozoic Era and all had similar looking snouts. The Mesozoic Era is divided into the Triassic (251-199.6 million years ago), the Jurassic (199.6-145.5 million years ago), and the Cretaceous (145.5-65.5 million years ago), according to the University of California at Berkeley. The Mesozoic Era had mass extinction events at both the beginning and the end, including the asteroid that crashed into the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico.
