“Punk Rocker” dinosaurs are covered with long nails and shield

Dinosaur is called one of the “strangest” that was ever found, proud of a detailed sending of long bone nails and the tail weapon, according to the results. Published In the Journal of Nature Sciences.

Spicomllus, which toured the Earth 165 million years ago, is the oldest ankylosaur in the world, a group of herbacco dinosaurs known for its tank -like bodies.

The image of sales scientists at Spicomllus was based on one rib bone in Morocco in 2019.

But the newly discovered remains helped scientists form a clearer image of the unusual dinosaur.

The fossils showed that they are bound by bone nails on all their ribs – something unprecedented in any other types of vertebrates that live or extinct, according to the research published on Wednesday.

Richard Butler, Professor at the University of Birmingham and the participating project, I told CBS News BBC News He was the “evil rock” of his time.

Bater called the fossils “an incredibly important discovery,” adding that “Spicomllus is one of the strangest dinosaurs that we have absolutely discovered.”

The BBC added Susanna Medd. from the Natural History Museum in London, and added that Susanna Medinti is from the London History Museum in London, that it is surprising that the nails would be merged directly on the bone, according to the BBC.

“We do not see this in any animal, alive, or other extinction,” she said. “They are completely covered with really strange nails and protrusions throughout the back of the animal, including a great collar that wraps around its neck and a kind of weapons at the end of its tail, so it is an unusual dinosaur.”

This discovery is so unusual that Bater and Midmont are thinking about whether theories on how to evolved must be re -evaluated.

These dinosaurs survived late time, the dinosaurs were on the ground, in a period known as the Cretaceous era, the BBC said. The end of this period witnessed the emergence Large predators are meat animalsLike T

“If you had asked me what I expected it would seem to be ankylosaur known as if I would say something with a very simple shield,” PBC News told BBC News. “Instead, we have an animal covered with nails like hedgehog, which is the most strange shield we found in any animal, outside the shields that were later seen from ankylosaurs.”
