Researchers have unearthed the remains of a 230-million-year-old dinosaur, known as the oldest relative of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, in Brazil. The dinosaur goes by the name Erythrovenator but experts call it 'Godfather of T-Rex'. According to the researchers, the carnivorous dinosaur was six-and-a-half-feet long with razor-sharp teeth and claws. Palaeontologist Dr Rodrigo Muller said it comes "from the dawn of the dinosaur age."
