Halfway to being a herbivore

2005/06/01 Elhuyar Zientzia Iturria: Elhuyar aldizkaria

In the Utah desert, the fossil of a dinosaur species of 130 million years ago has been discovered. Until now they did not know this species and have baptized it as Falcaius utahensis. It seems he had a mixed diet: he ate meat, but also leaves. This fossil is the oldest in the group of tericinosaurs. Those of this group were herbivores and F. utahensis is halfway through the evolution from carnivore to herbivore.
