A bizarre new species of toothless two-fingered dinosaur that looks like a giant parrot and lived 686 million years ago in the Gobi Desert.
- Researchers in Edinburgh have named the new species Oksoko Averson
- It grew to about 6.5 feet in length and had feathers and a chitchat
- Most members of the genus – the ovaries – had three fingers on their forelimbs
- This is the first sign of loss of money in the group. Has adapted to Arsen
A bizarre-looking toothless dinosaur that had only two fingers and resembled a giant parrot was discovered in Mongolia.
Researchers in Edinburgh have found multiple, complete skeletons of a new all-celled species called Oksoko averson, drenched in the Gobi Desert.
Oh. Averson – who lived about 687 million years ago – grew to about 5.5 feet (two meters) in length and picked both feathers and a toothless beak.
The team said that significantly better-preserved fossils provide the first evidence of numerical loss in a family of three-fingered dinosaurs, commonly known as ovaries.
The fact that a member of the genus can develop predetermined adaptations suggests that the group may change their diet and lifestyle – allowing them to improve.

Researchers in Edinburgh have found multiple, complete skeletons of a new ubiquitous species known as the Oksoko Averson in the Gobi Desert.
‘Oksoko Aversan is interesting because the skeletons are extremely complete,’ said Gregory Fonston, a paper writer and paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh.
He added, ‘The way they were resting together shows that the teenagers were walking around in groups,’ he added.
‘But more importantly, its two-fingered hand asked us to see how the hand and slender changed during the evolution of our ovaries – which has not been studied before.’
“It reveals some unexpected trends that killed dinosaurs before extinction. The key to the puzzle is why ovaries were so diverse.”
In their research, Dr. Fenston and colleagues have studied the reduction in the size of the ovary’s third finger – and consequently the reduction – throughout their evolutionary history.
They found that the mountains of animals had changed and moved to new geographical areas – especially to those now known as North America and the Gobi Desert.
The team said that significantly better-preserved fossils provide the first evidence of a loss of numbers in a typical three-finger family of dinosaurs as ovoid.
In their excavations, researchers found the fossil remains of four teenagers, Osco Arsen, who appeared to be resting together.
It is very common for animals to be social at an early age.
The full results of the study were published in the Royal Society Open Science Journal.
