The international team that found and identified a fossilized bones of the forelimb said it was a previously unknown dinosaur, citing the unique characteristics of the skeleton.
The fossil was found with fish and shark teeth in what would have been a seabed 90 million years ago, which led to its discoverers believe dinosaurs may have been washed into the sea and old torn by sharks.
