Newly Discovered Armored Dinosaur Species Found in Argentina - CNET

A team of paleontologists has discovered the remains of a previously unknown dinosaur species in Argentina, as reported Sunday by Science Alert.

In the scientific report published last week, the paleontologists said that these remains could represent an entire lineage of armored dinosaur species in the Southern Hemisphere previously unknown to science.

The newly discovered species, Jakapil kaniukura, is thought to be related to thyreophoran species -- armored dinosaurs like the Stegosaurus and the Ankylosaurus -- due to the rows of bony disk-shaped armor along the dinosaur's neck, back and tail.
