CUP Alberta and Northern Bureau Chief March 25, 2009 EDMONTON (CUP) – It was an adventure that began back in 1982, but 27 years later, professor Philip Currie is able to say with certainty that he and his colleague have identified the smallest dinosaur known to have roamed North America.
The discovery and identification of the carnivorous Hesperonychus elizabethae – a species so small it would fit in the palm of one’s hand – will be published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences this week.
Originally thought to be a bone fragment from a lizard, the piece was found by a University of Calgary student who was hired by the University of Alberta to work in Alberta’s Dinosaur Provincial Park.
“She was looking mostly for smaller animals, and the small fossils she found, she thought probably belonged to a lizard,” said Currie, a U of A paleontologist and biological sciences professor.
“It came up here and everybody thought it was not quite right for a lizard, but at the same time, nobody really knew what it was. It just sat here.” >> |
