GREAT FALLS, Mont. — A rare and nearly complete dinosaur skeleton stolen from private property in Montana and stored in an evidence locker for more than two years has been turned over to researchers.

Scientists at the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research in South Dakota say the 70 million-year-old, turkey-size predator could be a new species of raptor.

The commercial fossil hunter who dug up the dinosaur removed it without the knowledge or permission of the property owners.
