New Theropod from Argentina - Overoraptor Chimentoi

[Omnomosaurus]

Interesting discovery of a new theropod in South America: Overoraptor Chimentoi.

 

Thought to be closely related to 'Rahonavis' from Madagascar;

 

“...........would indicate that Overoraptor chimentoi and Rahonavis could form a new group of paravian runners, which would be closer to the birds than known raptor families.”
