Dinosaur discovery advances link to tyrannosaur origins
University of Chicago paleontologist Paul Sereno unveiled a remarkably primitive meat eating dinosaur fossil from Argentina. Dated at around 225 million years old, the well preserved skeleton from the Ischigualasto Valley suggests close ties to early carnivorous saurian evolution. The find, uncovered Oct. 3, stems from a site that also yielded Herrerasaurus in 1988 and marks a step toward the missing link in dinosaur ancestry.
