A new noasaurine dinosaur found in Brazil: Vespersaurus Paranaensis

[Smilodon P.]

Back from vacation with great news:

"His feet were extremely bizarre and his weight was sustained by only one finger, being functionally monodactyl in a similar way to horses".

In the seventies the paleontologist Giuseppe Leonardi had found strange footprints of a small monodactyl animal in these same rock. After almost 50 years, they finally found the creature that left these trails.

This is the most interesting dinosaur news I've heard in a long time. I knew I liked noasaurs, but discoveries like this make them even more appealing.

This and Ambopteryx are easily the most interesting things to come out of dinosaur paleontology recently. Also when ever I hear Noasaur I still think of A Dinosaur Story  .
