New dinosaur found in Mifune Japan

[David in Japan]

Good morning gentleman,

I just retranscript you what was airing this morning on all radio news and will be aired most probably on news channel today.

The Mifune Dinausaur Museum made a presentation of a new species of dinosaur (I mean still not found in Mifune) found in Upper Cretaceous Mifune formation :

an ornithomimosaurian.

This found is the first in Japan where they found all sort of theropods and kind prove that this ornithomimosaurian lived also in semi-harid environment.
