And the Daily Dino Deluge goes on.... (OK, this one is technically from 2018, but showed up online on Feb. 13, 2019.).

Mongolostegus exspectabilis gen. et sp. nov.

T. A. Tumanova & V. R. Alifanov (2018)

First Record of Stegosaur (Ornithischia, Dinosauria) from the AptianâAlbian of Mongolia.

Paleontological Journal 52(14): 1771â1779Â

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1134/S0031030118140186

The first Mongolian stegosaur, Mongolostegus exspectabilis gen. et sp. nov., Stegosauridae (Ornithischia), represented by a series of anterior caudal vertebrae and bones of the pelvic girdle is described. The vertebral structure and massiveness and morphological features of pubic bones provide a unique combination of features, allowing recognition of diagnostic characters. The new taxon comes from the AptianâAlbian deposits of the Khamryn-Us locality (Mongolia) and belongs to the latest Stegosauridae (Ornithschia).
