FfFfFfFF 58,371 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 One of the strangest carnivorous dinosaurs ever discovered has been given a makeover by a pair of Belgian and Australian palaeontologists. The remarkable fossil was discovered by Argentine palaeontologist José Bonaparte who named the animal Carnotaurus. Carnotaurus was the first meat-eating dinosaur discovered with skin. Palaeontologist Dr. Christophe Hendrickx from the Unidad Ejecutora Lillo in San Miguel de Tucumán, who led the present study said, "we discovered that the skin of this dinosaur was more diverse than previously thought, consisting of large and randomly distributed conical studs surrounded by a network of small elongated, diamond-shaped or subcircular scales."
