Summary:
- This article discusses the discovery of a new species of dinosaur called Meraxes gigas, a large carnivorous theropod that lived in what is now Argentina during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 95 million years ago.
- The researchers analyzed the fossil remains of Meraxes gigas, which included a well-preserved skull, and found that it was a close relative of the Tyrannosaurus rex, but with some unique features such as a longer and more slender skull.
- The study provides important insights into the evolution and diversity of large carnivorous dinosaurs during the Late Cretaceous period, and contributes to our understanding of the ecosystem and climate of that time.
