The 14mm-long fossil is thought to belong to a juvenile dromaeosaurid that lived in the Arctic during the Cretaceous period.

The palaeontologists say that the early developmental stage of the bone suggests the young dromaeosaurid was born nearby - strong evidence that some of the dinosaurs were nesting there.

One of the authors of the study Anthony R Fiorillo, of Southern Methodist University, said:"Years ago when dinosaurs were first found in the far north, the idea challenged what we think we know about dinosaurs. "This study of a predatory dinosaur jaw from a baby provides the first physical proof that at least some dinosaurs not only lived in the far north, but they thrived there.

Clutching at Jaws ?

Newly discovered not new ffs.

It's 2020, that dinosaur is hiding behind WH Smith's waiting to claim it back.

Sky making shit up!

Nope. That looks like dried up bird poo..no such things as dinosaurs

Jawbone proven? Dinosaur proven? Half the scientific community cant work out if dinosaurs had feathers yet this is a new dinosaur

Doyathinkhesaurus?

Oh for goodness sake...

Looks like my poo after binging in spinach!

Dinosaurs didn't exist

Deadassaurous

This is a very misleading headline. I just ran to my bunker

Now they’re just making things up. Scientists don’t do belief

Hey the might even show up themselves to collect their fallen brother or sister heck it’s 2020 what else can happen

Hey grand dad run down to the dentist and get its dental records just to be sure to be sure lol

They’re coming back?

How do they know it is a jawbone if it is a undiscovered specie. I think they make it up as they go along.....

Amazing discovery

Given the size of the piece and it's texture, I would say it is a 7 ft bipedal pigeon looking dinosaur, (fat with a little head) from the mid Jurassic period

I get the impression it’s not a new species. Likely a very old species which has been newly discovered. But if there are new species of dinosaurs 🦖 I would very much like to check them out!

Great to see a story on SkyNews not concerned with what a terribly racist country England is.

those clickbait titles getting out of hand. trash media.

I wonder if Greta could have saved the dinosaurs?

Stanley Johnston!!

'may' being the operative word!

How cute and lovely, but I think it can wait. Meanwhile in the rest of the world right now...chaos, carnage and confusion ensues.

Scientists believe face mask don’t work but yet we have to ware them on public transport.

It’s a caveman’s toe nail.

I bet it’s not really new. I’m sure it’s been extinct for millions of years. 😆

you mean conservatives existed in the stone age sure is a age of discoverues quite

Boris's personality

New is perhaps the wrong word here, unless there's a bunch of them running around somewhere
