For the first time in 15 years, South Korea has announced that it has found a new dinosaur species! The discovery was made using advanced technology and through international collaboration. The dinosaur is called Doolysaurus huhmini and lived around 100 million years ago during the mid-Cretaceous period.
According to research published in the journal Fossil Record, the dinosaur is a small bipedal herbivore, and has only been identified as a juvenile (about 2 years old). It allows us to look at prehistoric life from a ‘baby’ perspective. Because the dinosaur's bones were encased in solid rock, some researchers from the University of Texas at Austin used advanced CT scanning technology to extract the first dinosaur skull from Korea digitally.
