Parrosaurus Missouriensis, a New Genus of Dinosaur, Discovered in Missouri

Scientists have recently discovered in Missouri the bones of a dinosaur, and the paleontology community is very excited. The dinosaur is estimated to be 25 to 30 feet long. The remains are special, as these belong to a new genus and species of duckbilled dinosaurs called Parrosaurus missouriensis. Pete Makovicky, a professor in earth and environmental sciences at the University of Minnesota, describes the Missouri site as one of the most unique.

The site's location is currently kept secret. The information would only be disclosed once the place is secured.
