New dinosaur, a species of spinosaurid, discovered in Spain, researchers sayFossil fragments found in Spain are pointing to a new species of dinosaur, researchers said. Scientists have proposed a new species of spinosaurid after studying the specimen, which includes a right jaw bone, one tooth and five vertebrate, found in the Arcillas de Morella Formation in Castellon, Spain, in 2011, according to a study published in Scientific Reports on Thursday. Spinosaurids are often characterized by their large bodies, which stand on two feet.
