Natural History Museum to display rare dog-sized dinosaur

A Labrador -shaped dinosaur was wrongly classified when it was found and actually a new species, scientists have discovered.

Its new name is Enigmacursor – which means the esoteric runner – and lived about 150 million years ago, which was walking around the feet of famous veterans such as Stegosaurus.

It was originally classified as a nanosaurus, but scientists now concluded that it is a separate animal.

It will become the first new dinosaur to perform at the Natural History Museum (NHM) in London since 2014 on Thursday.

BBC News went behind the curtain to see Deenosaur, before it would come in front of the public.

This discovery has promised to throw light on evolutionary history, which showed that early small dinosaurs become very large and “bizarre” animals, according to a peliytologist Professor Paul Barrett in the museum.

The new house of dinosaurs is a balcony in the effective meaning hall of the museum. Below this is the Sophie Stegosaurus which also lived in the formation of Morrison in the Western United States.

Enigmacursor is smaller than comparison. Professor Susanaah Madment says that 64 cm tall and 180 cm long is about the height of a Labrador, but with very large legs and a tail, “probably the rest was longer than the dinosaur.”

“It was also a relatively small head, so it was probably not the most bright,” she says, saying that it was probably a teenager when it died.

With fossil residues of their bones in their hands, preservatives collect the skeleton on a metal frame by expert Lu Eleington-Jones and Keeran Miles.

“I want to harm it at this level, before it comes to everyone,” says Ms. Olington-Jones, head of protection.

“Here you can see solid dense hips that are showing you that it is running a fast.

It was a clue in bones that inspired NHM scientists to conclude that the creature was a new species.

“When we are trying to identify whether something is a new species, we are looking for small differences with all other close dinosaurs. The bones of the foot are actually important in this one,” says professor mandements, the correct Indian limbs of the Englishmen are holding.

When the dinosaurs were donated to the museum, it was named Nanosaurus, like many other small dinosaurs after the 1870s.

But scientists suspected that the classification was false.

To learn more, he traveled to the United States with a skeletal scan and saw detailed photos to see the original nanosaurus, which is considered a archi sample.

Professor Madment said, “But it had no bone. It has just a rock with some bone impression. It can be any number of dinosaurs.”

In contrast, the sample of NHM was a refined and near-to-complete skeleton that had unique features, including the bones of the foot.

Peliantologists say that it is necessary to remove this mystery around the name and classification.

Professor Madment says, “For our work, to understand how many species we really have. If we have found that wrong, everything else has been different.”

Scientists have now formally eradicated the entire category of Nanosaurus.

They believe that other small dinosaurs of this period are also probably different species.

The discovery should help scientists to understand the diversity of dinosaurs in late Jurassic period.

Professor Barrett says, “Small dinosaurs are very close to the origin of large groups of dinosaurs.”

“Such samples help to fill in some of those intervals in our knowledge, show us how those changes are slowly occurred,” they say.

Looking at these early organisms helps them to identify the pressures that lead to the development of their more bizarre, spacious descendants, “is called Pro Barrett.

Scientists are excited for such a rare full skeleton of a small dinosaur.

Traditionally, the bones of large dinosaurs have been the greatest prize, so there is less interest in digging small fossils.

“When you are looking for those very big dinosaurs, sometimes it is easy to ignore the small people living with them. But now I hope that people will keep their eyes closer to the ground in search of these small people.”

Conclusions about Enigmacursor MollyBorthwickae have been published in the Royal Society Open Science Journal.
