The new iguanodont with novel skin coverings. In addition to the large scute-like scales on the tail, the body is covered with what the author's describe as "spikes". The largest ones are about 4 cm long but almost a cm thick, resembling short quills. The smaller ones are hair or eyelash-like.

In light of today’s palaeo news, and whilst not claiming to be a visionary genius or anything (that’s for history to judge… 😉) I’m just gonna drop my illustration of a quilled and spiky iguanodon from back in 2021. Sometimes you don’t need to be good. Just lucky.

There’s a new dinosaur documentary series coming out. That’s good! The dinosaurs look stiff and like 2010s cgi. That’s bad. The Triassic gets some attention. That’s good! Narrated by repeat harasser Morgan Freeman. That’s bad.

Fossils aren't just bones! It's easy to think of giant sauropod leg bones or a terrifying theropod claw, but what about other kinds of fossils? They can come in the form of sea shells, coprolites, or even footprints! Thanks for joining us for episode 2 of Paleo Bites! 🦴
