#kunbarrasaurus #dinosauria #deadsound #paleoart

Silhouetted size comparison of the dinosaurs mentioned with a human for scale. The largest of this group known is ~3m long

The tentative clade "Parankylosauria" contains the Southern Hemisphere ankylosaurians #Stegouros, #Antarctopelta, #Patagopelta, & #Kunbarrasaurus. These armoured dinos are known from a few specimens combined, but hint at a ghost lineage of southern thyreophorans.

In late 1989, an ankylosaurian skeleton was found near Richmond Queensland.

In 1990, a team led by Ralph Molnar recovered it

In 1996, Molnar referred it to Minmi, but not Minmi paravertebra.
