Found 6 dinosaurs in China
Fossil bones of 6 newborn dinosaurs died in a flood of volcanic mud recently found in China. They have different ages, but are all less than 4, and may belong to at least 2 drives.
120 million-year-old fossil samples were announced by Dr. Paul Barrett, from the London Museum of Natural History, in the Palaeontology magazine.
He said the specimens were miraculously preserved and opened a unique view of the behavior of the Psittacosaurus dinosaur, with a parrot-like beak.
They show that Psittacosaurus may have started to live in herd much sooner than previously thought. Their combination is also very unique, not only in the nest itself, but also each one from this nest can be associated with the other in order to form its own herd.
