New Dinosaur Discovered!

A new species of a horned dinosaur was revealed after 95 years of the inital fossil was discovered. This was led by a staff team at Alf Museum. This new horned dino, called Spinops Stembergorum lived about 76 million years ago in Alberta, Canada. Spinops was a plant eater that weight about two tons when alive and was a smaller cousin to the dinosaur, Triceratops. Its long projected horn, at the nose, a bony neck frill, backward projectiing spikes, and foward hooks made this dino different from the other horned dinosaurs. The paleotologist marked that this discovery is important to the evolution and enviornment at the time. In 1916, parts of the skull were discovered by a father-son team. Once discovered they sent the skull pieces to the National History Museum in London, but which were denyed too scrappy for evidence of the dinosaur. The skull piece was booked on a shelf for decades until a team of collegues remarked that the dinosaur was known to be Spinops.

I found his to be interesting because dinosaurs are one of the earliest signs of life on this planet and its remarkable that after so many years that we still find new discoveries.
