Paleontologists Uncover First Known Tracks From Club-Tailed Armored Dinosaur

AnkylosoursOften compared to Pokémon, often a group of dinosaurs, broom and sides were built as tanks. They lived during Late Jurasik (164 to 145 million years ago) and Bomb (145 to 66 million years ago) consisted of periods and two main sub-groups: there were no tail clubs and usually had four fingers in both hands and feet; Ankylosiaurides with a different club tail and three grilles in three toes in three toes. When paleontologists find four-fingered Ankylosaur footprints in North America, those who are above three were left unavailable.

The team of international researchers identified the first Ankylosaurid traces known to science. 100 million years of bosylized traces representing a new Ankylosaurid type in the Canadian Peace Region (surrounding British Columbia and Alberta provinces) Ruopodosaurus Clava. The discovery also fills in the northern American fossil records in an infamous cavity.

“We do not know exactly what dinosaur does Ruopodosaurus Looked like footprints, know that would be about 5-6 meters long [16 to over 19 feet long]In the Museum of Paleontology in Victoria Arbor, King BC (British Columbia), Taylor & Francis Group in the Museum of Victoria Arbor, Taylor & Francis Group in the Museum of Victoria Arbor (British Columbia) with a torment club statement. Arbor and his colleagues’ work a learn Today, Taylor and Francis Group were published in the Journal of Paleontology in Paleontology.

Ruopodosaurus Clava “A club / mace” fallen lizard “means, according to his statement, tracking the mountain area, which protects the tail club as a printing traces and the dinosaur’s Sledgehammer.

The researchers conveyed prints to the middle of the Bretacous period in the middle of the period of two to 94 million years ago. This is a double exception – before discoveries, some scientists, taking into account the lack of fossils during this period, they have noted that there are no ankylosaurides in North America. The newly discovered roads fills this gap in the fossil record of North America and also demonstrate that nodosaurids and ankylosaurides share this region millions of years ago.

Investigation, Charles Helm, who was a scientific adviser in the Tumbler Ridge Museum and a scientific adviser in Tumbler Ridge, Tumbler Ridge, the three-legged traces of the British Colombia documented triplets in the skirts of Canadian Rockies in the peace area of ​​Colombia.

“Two young men found an Ankylosaur Road near the Tumbler series in 2000, Ankylosaurs and Tumbler series were Synonym. This study is really interesting to report that there are two types of ankylosaurs that call this region home in this region Ruopodosaurus Only in this part of Canada has been identified, “he said.

“This study emphasizes the importance of the northeastern region to understand the evolution of dinosaurs in North America – there are more things to be discovered,” he said.

Watching the earth with a footprint of the dinosaurs walking millions of years ago, the team first provides a piece of an exploration, as well as ankylosaur fossil record puzzle.
