New dinosaur species discovered at Oklahoma State University!

Accidental discovery of a new dinosaur species

In a remarkable twist of fate, a groundbreaking discovery has been made by a 28-year-old PhD student at Oklahoma State University, who has uncovered an entirely new dinosaur species. The newly identified dinosaur, named Eonephron infernalis, lived approximately 66 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. The student, initially studying the bones of a bird-like dinosaur known as Anzueli, affectionately referred to as the 'chicken from hell,' was astounded to find that the bones were even smaller than expected, leading to further investigation and the subsequent identification of a hitherto unknown species.

The unidentified PhD student embarked on his endeavor under the assumption that he was examining the remains of the notorious 'chicken from hell.' However, upon closer inspection, he noticed distinct differences in the bone structure, prompting him to send the specimens for rigorous analysis. The outcome of these investigations confirmed the presence of a completely novel dinosaur species, thus sparking excitement among the scientific community.
