Haolong - The Spiky Hadrosauroid

Описание: Just when you think that dinosaur integument couldn't get any stranger, well, it certainly pays not to deal in absolutes! A recently described fossil of a small ornithopod, named as Haolong dongi, marks a new chapter in our understanding of integumentary evolution in not just dinosaurs, but archosaurs and reptiles as a whole.

Living alongside other well-preserved animals in the Yixian formation, a region of the world well-known for its unusual wildlife, Haolong further expands our knowledge of the ecosystem there, and offers up many more questions as to just what this animal was like and what it's strange spines were used for. I hope you enjoy!
