Researchers have discovered a never-before-seen species of dinosaur that may have lived underground in burrows. The new find demonstrates the versatility of these extinct reptiles in exploiting ecological niches and adapting to their environments, the scientists say.
In a new study published Tuesday (July 9) in the journal The Anatomical Record, scientists described a series of fossils from the Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation in eastern Utah, which were extracted from the region beginning in 2013.
