| 0:33.8 | Hello and welcome to I know Dino. I'm Garrett. |
| 0:34.6 | And I'm Sabrina. |
| 0:39.9 | And today we'll be talking about Hipsilofidon, which was a request from our listener, Zach, |
| 0:42.0 | as well as a bunch of dinosaur news. |
| 0:47.9 | First in the news, there's an article that was published in the journal Current Biology titled A New Horn Dinosaur reveals convergent evolution in cranial ornamentation in serotopsidae. |
| 0:56.1 | And that's kind of a mouthful, but basically it talks about two different groups of |
| 1:01.2 | serotopsians and how they're related, especially with this new find. |
| 1:06.3 | The lead author was Caleb M. Brown, and with others, they described this new horn dinosaur called |

| 1:45.4 | The species name is based on Peter Hughes, who discovered the holotype in the St. Mary |
| 1:50.5 | River formation in southern Alberta, Canada. |
| 1:53.5 | Saratopsians have one of the best preserved fossil records in Dinosauria, and because of this, |
| 1:58.9 | we have a lot of detail on the different species and their |
| 2:01.4 | different traits in how they evolved. I think we mentioned in an earlier episode, since their |
| 2:06.2 | skull has so much bone on it, it would have been very difficult to try to eat or anything. |
