Dinosaur of the day Spinophorosaurus, a sauropod from the Middle Jurassic of Niger that was originally thought to have a Stegosaurus-like spiky tail.
In dinosaur news this week:
- Stegouros, the ankylosaur we said had an "axe-like tail", is better described as a macuahuitl tail
- A new sauropodomorph, Issi saaneq, was found in what is now Greenland
- A new study showed the ankylosaur Struthiosaurus had a poor sense of hearing and probably moved slowly
- The Mace Brown Museum of Natural History in Charleston, South Carolina is offering a new paleontology scholarship
- Frisco, Texas is building a new library, and it will include a life-sized model of a T. rex skeleton
- Sir David Attenborough has a new documentary coming out later this year, called “Dinosaurs: The Final Day”
