5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Newly discovered fossils show the existence of a hammer head dinosaur, thought to have lived around 244 million years ago. The Atopodentatus unicus was a herbivore with a skull the shape of a "vacuum attachment". Dr Nick Fraser, from the National Museum of Scotland, worked on the discovery and said "the bizarre animal is the size of a crocodile, with a very tiny head". Fraser said the Atopodentatus unicius translates into "unique bizarre dentition". This clip is originally from 5 live breakfast on Saturday 7 2016.
