Canada's first dinosaur-era dragonfly fossil fills an evolutionary gap
In a first for Canadian paleontology, a Cretaceous fossilized dragonfly wing, uncovered in Alberta's Dinosaur Provincial Park, has been identified as a new species. It's also the first known dragonfly fossil from Canada's dinosaur-aged rocks. The find, led by McGill University researchers, sheds light on a 30-million-year gap in the evolutionary history of dragonflies.
'Bizarre' armored dinosaur, Spicomellus afer, with meter-long neck spikes rewrites tail weapon timeline
The world's most unusual dinosaur is even stranger than first realized. Research published in Nature reports that Spicomellus afer had a tail weapon more than 30 million years before any other ankylosaur, as well as a unique bony collar ringed with meter-long spikes sticking out from either side of its neck. The paper is titled "Extreme armour in the world's oldest ankylosaur."
Scientists discover armored “goblin monster” in prehistoric Utah | ScienceDaily
Scientists have identified a new giant lizard, Bolg amondol, from Utah’s Kaiparowits Formation, named after Tolkien’s goblin prince. Part of the monstersaur lineage, Bolg reveals that multiple large lizards coexisted with dinosaurs, suggesting a thriving ecosystem. Its discovery in long-stored fossils underscores how museums hold hidden scientific gems.
Bizarre ankylosaur with giant neck spikes redefines dinosaur evolution | ScienceDaily
Spicomellus afer, a newly analyzed Jurassic ankylosaur from Morocco, is overturning scientists’ understanding of dinosaur evolution. Unlike any other known creature, it carried a collar of meter-long spikes fused directly to its ribs, along with an early form of tail weaponry that predates similar adaptations by over 30 million years. These bizarre features suggest its armor may have been used for show as well as protection, before shifting toward defense in later ankylosaurs.
