Gobiraptor minutus was a feathered dinosaur that lived in today’s Mongolia
An article published in the journal “PLOS ONE” reports the discovery of a new species of feathered dinosaur that belongs to the group of oviraptorosaurs that lived between 80 and 70 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous period in today’s Mongolia. A team of researchers named it Gobiraptor minutus and studied the partial skeleton discovered concluding that it was probably a juvenile specimen that fed on hard food such as shelled molluscs and had jaws strong enough to break them up.
