According to the findings, a dinosaur found one of the “strange” in a wide arsenal of long bony spikes and a tail weapon. Published Science Journal in Nature.
Spicomelas, which wandered on Earth 165 million years ago, is the oldest ankylosor in the world, a vegetarian group of dinosaurs known for its tank -like body.
The image of the peliytologist of Spickomelus was based on a single rib bone found in Morocco in 2019.
But newly discovered remains have helped scientists to create a clear picture of unusual dinosaurs.
According to research published on Wednesday, fossils showed that it had fused all the ribs of Boney Spikes – never seen before living or extinct in any other vertebral species.
Richard Butler, a professor and project cum at Birmingham University, CBS news partner told BBC News It was the “punk rocker” of its time.

Butler said “incredibly important discovery” by Butler, “connecting Spicomelas, is one of the most strange dinosaurs we’ve ever discovered.”
The BBC reported that Susanaah Madment, co-leader of Butler’s Project of Natural History Museum in London, said it was surprising that Spikes were fused directly on the bone.
“We don’t see that in another animal, living or extinct,” he said. “It is truly strange spikes and the protrusions covered from the back of the animal, including a bony collar that wraps around its neck and wrap some kind of weapon at the end of its tail, so a most unusual dinosaur.”
This discovery is so unusual that Butler and Maid are considering whether the principles of developing ankylosaurus should be re -evaluated.
The BBC reported that these dinosaurs were late dinosaurs, when known as Creteshius, in a period, the BBC reported. Emergenced at the end of this period Big carnivorous predatorsAccording to Butler, T. Rex like t. Rex, so it was thought that Ankilosor started with simple, small armored plates on his back, which then became larger and wide to protect themselves from these large animals.
Butler told BBC News, “If you had asked me what I had expected from the oldest known Ankilosaur, as I would have said something with a very simple armor,” Butler told BBC News. “Instead, we have an animal with spikes like a hedgehog, the most bizarre armor we have ever found in any animal, later outside the boundary of the armor seen in the ankylosor.”
