AP/Todd Marshall, Univ. of Utah: An artist's rendition of the new duck-billed dinosaur
SALT LAKE CITY — A Mexican paleontologist was cleaning up after lunch with a group of schoolchildren she'd been teaching to dig for bones in northeastern Mexico when she found the dinosaur bone.
"I was basically collecting trash," Martha Carolina Aguillon Martinez recalled at a news conference Tuesday.
Twelve years later, after much digging, drilling and piecing together, it became clear that the helmet-crested, duck-billed dinosaur didn't belong to any previously identified species. This was new.
