The announcement of this new dinosaur has been made by the National Institute of History and Anthropology of Mexico. Fossil scientists say that the circumstances under which this dinosaur was found only shows how well it was preserved. The institute said in a statement, "About 7.2 or 7.3 million years ago, a giant vegetarian dinosaur may have died in a reservoir that is filled with silt. His body would soon have been covered by that silt and preserved in it for centuries." It must have been. "

This new breed is named Talatolophus gallorum. It was first found in 2013 in the General Cepeda area of ​​the northern province of Covuilla in Mexico. Then as the excavation continued, scientists found 80 percent of its head, its 1.32 meter crest, thigh bone and shoulder bone. After this, the researchers realized that a new breed of dinosaurs has got their hands on it.

An extraordinary discovery

The institute's statement also said, "We know that dinosaurs of this breed had such hearing abilities that they could also hear sounds of low frequency. This means that they must have been peace-loving but talkative." Fossil scientists also believe that he "used to make loud noises to scare away predators or for reproductive purposes." The institute says that the investigation of this discovery is still going on, but research on this ancient reptile has been published in the scientific journal Cretaceous Research.

According to the institute, "This is an extraordinary discovery in Mexican paleontology. The condition that this dinosaur had found would have created very favorable conditions millions of years ago. At that time, Choheela was a tropical area." The name Talatolophus is derived from the local Nahuatl language word Talahatoli (meaning word or sentence) and the Greek word lofus (kalagi). Regarding the shape of the crest of this dinosaur, the institute says that it is "a mark used by Mesoamericans for the interaction and knowledge in their ancient manuscripts."
