Researchers discovered the remains of a new dinosaur species called Yuxisaurus kopchicki in Yunnan province, China. The formidable creature was adorned with spikes and bony plates that covered most of its body.
Scientists originally found remains of an armored dinosaur, which they named Yuxisaurus kopchicki, in 2017 in the Yuxi region of Yunnan province, an area that has been a hotspot for dinosaur discoveries. Research on the specimens began in 2019, according to study author Shundong Bi, professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
