If you’re at a loss when it comes to a Halloween costume, paleontologist Dr. Paul C. Sereno has a suggestion: try a new rare, miniature dinosaur species called pegomastax.

“The pegomastax is a cutie,” Sereno, a professor at the University of Chicago, told ABC News today. “I would like to see people wearing pegomastax masks. … They have fangs â€" canines in the lower and upper jaw. It’s perfectly suitable for a Halloween mask.”

Sereno, also a National Geographic Society explorer-in-residence, released a report today in the journal ZooKeys, about the pegomastax and its heterodontosaur family, what he called ” a weird group of herbivores with canines.”

“The significance of the work is lifting the veil on the ‘punk-size’ dinosaur,” Sereno said.

He said that pegomastax, meaning “thick jaw, short snout,” was the size of a small cat and looked like a parrot â€" “an unusual parrot albeit with fangs.” He said it had two legs and lived in the Jurassic era and start of the Cretaceous era.
