Skeleton of fruit-eating dinosaur species the size of a turkey discovered in the US

Infernogallus jamesi, a small oviraptorosaur, is the first known dinosaur with a fruit-based diet. This dinosaur, about the size of a turkey, had specialized chewing muscles similar to those of modern parrots, allowing it to grind soft food. Researchers discovered this unique chewing ability from the structure of its palate, which enabled a side-to-side motion of the beak. The species specialized in separating fruit flesh from pits, adapting as fruit sizes increased. Fossils were found in the Hell Creek Formation, where it coexisted with T. rex and Triceratops.
