New dog-sized dinosaur fossil unearthed
Scientists have found a brand-new dinosaur species, Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae, after studying fossils from the US.

Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae joins the Natural History Museum's collection
Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae now joins the Natural History Museum's collection. At first, experts thought it was just another Nanosaurus, but closer study proved otherwise.
Standing 64cm tall and stretching 180cm long (with half that length being tail!) , this discovery shows small dinosaurs were actually key players in their ancient ecosystems—not just sidekicks to the big guys.
