An international team of researchers in Japan, South Korean and U.S., has confirmed that the fossils found in 2008 in South Korea, belong to a type of dinosaur ceratopsians family, which lived 103 million years. The dinosaur has been named Koreaceratops in tribute to their country of origin.
bones were found in the hip and tail states in the South Korean city of Hwaseong, in the province of Gyeonggi. According to research results published in the German scientific journal "Naturwissenschaften", this was a bipedal dinosaur around 1.5 meters long, with a semi-aquatic life, which helped the tail plane to move in the water.
The discovery of this new type of dinosaur supports the theory that ceratopsians were originally from Asia, but reached its peak in the Cretaceous in what is now North America. ABC
