The new specimen was classified as abelisaurid.
Argentine scientists Thursday confirmed fossils of a dinosaur found in the province of Neuquén belonged to the Llukalkan aliocranianus, known as the one that causes fear.
The Llukalkan lived about 80 million years ago and was about five meters long, with very sharp teeth, huge claws on its feet, and a keen sense of smell. I was one of the main predators of the region during the Upper Cretaceous.
The skull was found in northern Neuquén, the federal government-run science agency Conicet announced on its website.
According to the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, the new specimen was classified as abelisaurid due to its short skull with rough bones.
