Manipulonyx reshetovi
A fresh analysis of a fossil found almost 50 years ago reveals a newly described genus named for its “manipulating claw”
Millions of years ago, a tiny dinosaur in what’s now Mongolia may have used its unique claws to steal meals in the dead of night.
A fresh analysis of a roughly 67-million-year-old fossil—a nearly complete spiky forearm, including a hooked claw, along with other bones—uncovered almost 50 years ago hints that the owner specialized in pilfering and piercing eggs.
What’s more, the study authors suggest that this dinosaur represents a newly described genus and species, Manipulonyx reshetovi, named for its “manipulating claw” and the paleontologist who discovered the specimen.
