New dinosaur species detected

A new dinosaur species was discovered in Australia, exactly two fragments of the jaw for the first time in nearly a century.

Opal merchant Mike Poben had found fragments in 2013 from a miner in the mining city of Lighting Ridge.

Poben has discovered two fragments of the jaw, 16 and 25 millimeters, along with the paleontologist of the University of New England Phil Bell, who, after extensive studies with his associates, attributed them to a small herbiv dinosaur so far unknown, with the size of a dog, walking on the plains of the continent's floods about 100 million years ago.

Dinozaur was named Weewarrasaurus pobeni, in recognition of Mike Poben and Wee Warra, where they found the remains.

Poben donated the fossil to the Opalean Australian Center, which preserves the world's largest recorded fossil collection.
