Yuxisaurus kopchicki

• Yao, X., Barrett, P.M., Yang, L., Xu, X., & Bi, S. (2022). A new early-branching armoured dinosaur from the Lower Jurassic of southwestern China. eLife (in press). https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.75248

Shundong Bi, professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania said that research on the skeleton began in 2019.

The team think it is likely the dinosaur lived 192 million to 174 million years ago .Yuxisaurus kopchicki is likely to have measured 2 to 3 meters in length and ate low-growing plants like ferns.

It's thought that the ancient creature belongs to the thyreophoran group, the same as its distant cousin the Stegosaurus.

It is thought to be the first armoured dinosaur to be discovered on the entire Asian continent which experts say helps to show how the group spread around the world.
