"The discovery of the 72-million-year-old fossil adds to the rich gallery of dinosaurs that scientists now know lived in western North America during the latter part of the dinosaur era.
The new species was dubbed Velafrons coahuilensis in honor of the state of Coahuila in north-central Mexico where the fossil was found." See the NGS article: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/20...o-dinosaur.html Z -------------------- Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one should be silent.

Every time we discover a new species I can't help but be reminded that there are propbably 90% or more species that have existed on Earth that we will never know anything about.
