Two new species of birds lived alongside dinosaurs 68 million years ago lived in Montana and Wyoming .

Fossil foot bones were found in the Hell Creek Formation in what's now the Dakotas , Montana .

They were found on their own, without other, flashier body parts like skulls and claws.

The bones were large for bird tarsometatarsi, but were still only about the size of an adult human thumb.
