'Death shadow' dinosaur unearthed in Argentina SciReports
The six-ton giant, the largest megaraptor unearthed to date, fed on smaller dinosaurs that it ripped to shreds with its talons before digging into their intestines, paleontologist Mauro Aranciaga told AFP.
The first part,"Maip," is derived from an"evil" mythological figure of Patagonia's indigenous Aonikenk people. It lived about 70 million years ago towards the end of the Cretaceous period in what was then a tropical forest, long before the Andes mountain range and glaciers that now define Patagonia.The killer reptile had two sharp, curved claws per front paw, each talon some 40 centimeters long.
This led to months of meticulous digging, cleaning and classification of a large cache of bones: vertebrae as well as bits of rib, hip, tail and arm.
