New Species of Armored Dinosaur Unearthed in China paleontology science
“Thyreophoran dinosaurs were important components of many terrestrial faunas from the Late Jurassic until the end of the Cretaceous, particularly in Laurasia,” said Professor Paul Barrett of the Natural History Museum, London, and his colleagues from China and the United States.“The majority of Late Mesozoic armored dinosaurs belonged to one of two major lineages — Ankylosauria or Stegosauria — whose earliest members are currently known from the Middle Jurassic.
Its fossilized remains — a partial skeleton that includes skull, axial, limb and armor elements — were recovered from thewas possibly a facultative quadrupedal,” said Professor Shundong Bi, a paleontologist at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.According to the team,Its discovery confirms the rapid geographic spread and diversification of thyreophoran dinosaurs after their first appearance around 200 million years ago.
“Although we’ve had tantalizing fragments of early armored dinosaurs from Asia, this is the first time we’ve had enough material to recognize a new species from the region and investigate its evolutionary history,” Professor Barrett said. “I hope it’s the first of many new dinosaurs from the localities being discovered by my colleagues in Yunnan.”
