Fossil remains of meat-eating dinosaurs have been unearthed by dinosaur hunters in a New Mexico quarry.

The bones support the theories that the earliest dinosaurs came from what is now the continent of South America and some moved to the north, or today’s United States, as the supercontinent Pangaea started breaking into pieces.

This discovery made by five paleontologists was reported on the journal Science.

According to the scientists, the complete skeletal system was found in rock layers at Ghost Ranch, a place located near the village of Abiquiu, New Mexico.

The 215-million-year-old dinosaur, the scientists said, resembles other meat-eaters including the T-rex. They believe it belongs to the earliest evolutionary offspring of its South American ancestors, way before the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Velociraptor, which only evolved at least 130 million years later.

The group named the newly-discovered dinosaur “Tawa hallae.”
