UCARE Project Leads to Naming of New Dinosaur Species
A team of paleontologists, including lead author and 2008 University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate Andrew McDonald, has named a new species of dinosaur based on an incomplete skeleton found in western New Mexico on land administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
The new species, dubbed Jeyawati rugoculus, comes from rocks that preserve a swampy forest ecosystem that thrived near the shore of a vast inland sea 91 million years ago. Jeyawati is a member of a remarkable assemblage of dinosaurs and other animals that was totally unknown 15 years ago and that was featured in the 2001 Discovery Channel documentary, "When Dinosaurs Roamed America." more...
