Dinosaur of the day Mojoceratops, a ceratopsian that got its mojo from its frill.

In dinosaur news this week:

  • A new ankylosaur, Zhongyuansaurus junchangi, with "swallowtail" shaped tail armor
  • A good overview of how osteoderm patterns vary between different ankylosaur species
  • The best way to distinguish ankylosaur species is probably by comparing skulls
  • A new ankylosaur skull led to another new ankylosaur species being named: Tianzhenosaurus chengi
  • New ankylosaur fossils were excavated in Argentina, a rare find for South America
  • Osteoderms may have helped dinosaurs live in arctic conditions
