New Dinosaur Species Discovered in Grapevine
The Perot Museum of Nature and Science discovered the species, which roamed North Texas 96 MILLION years ago.  A team of paleontologists, Ron Tykoski, Dori Contreras and Christopher Noto, identified the new species, Ampelognathus coheni -- a small, plant-eating dinosaur. The dinosaur was discovered based on a two-inch long fossil from a partial lower left jaw bone found near the sandy shores of Grapevine Lake in Grapevine. The fossil has since been added to the collections of the Perot Museum.  The museum said in a news release that the dinosaur likely measured less than six feet long and weighed no more than a medium-sized dog.
