A significant discovery was made when paleontologists unearthed the nearly complete fossil of a dinosaur in Montana, which turned out to be a new species of theropod. This discovery added to the understanding of the diversity of dinosaur species in North America during the Late Cretaceous period.
Theropods are a suborder of dinosaurs characterized by their bipedal stance, hollow bones, and three-toed limbs. Some theropods, like the Tyrannosaurus rex, were massive predators, while others, such as the Velociraptor, were smaller and potentially covered in feathers, suggesting a closer relationship to modern birds. This fossil find provided insights into the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds, emphasizing the importance of theropods in the dinosaur lineage.
