English scientists have discovered in the town of Arenas (Huesca, northern English) a species of dinosaur belonging to the group of hadrosaurs (duck beaks), which is believed never existed in Europe.
The dinosaur belonged to the hadrosaurids and the subgroup of lambeosaurine, characterized by the presence of elongated structures or ridges on the head, according to the University of Zaragoza (north), who participated in the study.
dinosaur It was a relatively small, between five and seven meters long, with a weight that would be around between 400 and 500 kilos and with a hundred jaws with teeth capable of grinding tough plants.
cranial crest, formed by a series of tubes by passing air, was used to produce sound, and roar in mating season.
worldwide have been located about 57 species of hadrosaur as that found in Arena, which has been dubbed "blasisaurus canudo" for having been discovered at the site called Blasi, and in homage to José Ignacio Canudo English paleontologist leader Aragosaurus-IUCA Group (which has led the research) by contribution to the study of dinosaurs Iberians.

So far, researchers have certified some of the fossils found, as the head, while continuing to work on vertebrae, femur and humerus, probably belonging to the same species.
The fossil skull of this new hadrosaur were found and excavated at the site called Blasi 1, in a series of excavations that began in 1997 at Arena.
