Cheeky discovery: Scientists identify previously unknown soft tissue structure in dinosaurs
Researchers have found evidence of a previously unrecognized soft tissue structure in the cheek region of many dinosaur species, which they've called the "exoparia." The finding deepens our understanding of dinosaur anatomy and highlights the limitations of current methods of reconstructing parts of dinosaur anatomy that can't be well preserved.
