Limusaurus: Beaked, Bird-Like Dinosaur Species Had Teeth as Juveniles, Lost Them as They Grew

An international team of paleontologists has discovered that Limusaurus inextricabilis, a species of Jurassic dinosaur, lost its teeth in adolescence and did not grow another set as adults.

Limusaurus inextricabilis (‘mire lizard who could not escape’) is a ceratosaurian theropod dinosaur that lived during the Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) in what is now northwestern China. It was found in 159 million-year-old deposits located in the Junggar Basin of Xinjiang and earned its name from the way its skeletons were preserved, stacked on top of each other in fossilized mire pits.
