A team of paleontologists and geologists from Argentina and the United States on Jan. 13 announced the discovery of a lanky dinosaur that roamed South America in search of prey as the age of dinosaurs began, about 230 million years ago. Sporting a long neck and tail and weighing only 10 to 15 pounds, the dinosaur has been named Eodromaeus, the "dawn runner."
