Joseph Sertich, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Denver Museum of Science and Nature (USA), discovered Dahalokely tokana at a cliff in Madagascar.
The spine and ribs were found in 2007 and 2010 near the city of Antsiranana in the northern tip of Madagascar, according to the PLOS ONE report.
With the name meaning "lonely little bandit", they are about the size of a large cow, lived 90 million years ago, the time when India and Madagascar were still a strip of land cut from the rest of the world gender.
Until recently, no dinosaur fossils were discovered between 165 and 70 million years in Madagascar, and the new discovery shortened this time to 20 million years.
