"Thai Fossil Unveils Remarkable New Dinosaur Species"

TL;DR Summary
Paleontologists have discovered a new dinosaur species in Thailand, named Minimocursor phunoiensis. The exceptionally well-preserved fossil, found in the Phu Noi dig site, belongs to the neornithischian clade and is estimated to have lived 145 to 163 million years ago. The dinosaur had a long body, long tail, beak-like snout, and a bony lump on its jaw. It walked on two legs, had four limbs, and was approximately 2 meters long when fully grown. The researchers believe it was a fast runner and primarily ate vegetation. Further study of the fossil is ongoing.
