Giant, meat-eating raptor dinosaur discovered in Argentina
December 17, 2008
Paleontologist Fernando Novas shows a replica of the dinosaur Austroraptor cabazai at the Argentine Museum of Natural Science Bernardino Rivadavia in Buenos Aires. The dinosaur, of about 70 million years old, was found in the Patagonian province of Rio Negro, SW of Buenos Aires.
The fossils of a newly discovered, meat-eating raptor dinosaur, one of the biggest and perhaps most recent to live in Argentina's Patagonia region 70 million years ago, were presented Wednesday at a Buenos Aires museum.
