The identification was made from a fossil that was in storage for two decades and has never received the attention deserved, so far.The animal would have more than nine meters long and a giant nose, earning him the new scientific name â€" Rhinorex condrupus. The remains of the animal have been found in Brigham Young University in Utah, by researchers from North Carolina State University and Brigham Young Museum of Paleontology. According to scientists, the fossil was first discovered in 1990, in the rock formation of Nelsen.The fossil is about 75 million years and indicates that the animal was a herbivore and lived in the late Cretaceous, referred to the Daily Mail. According to the team of researchers, it took more than two years to rebuild the skeleton of the animal and only during the process it was possible to notice that he was facing a new species. The origin and use of the nose remains a mystery for scientists.This is the first complete fossil of a species of dinosaur group of hadrosaurs-the duck-billed dinosaurs â€" who inhabited that region of rock.
