Fylax thyrakolasus Prieto-Márquez & Carrera Farias, 2021 (new genus and species)
(Type jaw of Fylax thyrakolasus with a close-up of its teeth in the upper right, from Prieto-Márquez and Carrera Farias, 2021)
Meaning of name: Fylax thyrakolasus = keeper of the gates of hell [referring to the fact that it lived near the end-Cretaceous mass extinction]
Age: Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian), very close to the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary
Where found: Figuerola Formation, Catalonia, Spain
How much is known: The left half of a partial lower jaw.
Notes: Fylax was a hadrosauroid, closely related to but not a member of the "core group” of duck-billed dinosaurs (hadrosaurids). It is the youngest known non-hadrosaurid hadrosauroid. The coronoid process on its jaw (which would have been an attachment point for some of the main jaw-closing muscles) was unusually wide. Another notable feature of Fylax was that the chewing surface formed by its teeth was steeply angled, suggesting that it chewed its food primarily using a slicing motion.

Αποφάσισε ο κ. Δήμαρχος του Παλαιού Φαλήρου να κοσμίσει τον πολύ όμορφο Δήμο που υπηρετεί, Χριστουγεννιάτικα με Αγγέλους. Ωραία σαν ιδέα. Ελπίζαμε να βλέπαμε τους Αγγέλους της φάτνης, να βλέπαμε τους Αγγέλους της εκκλησίας μας, να θυμηθουμε λίγο και την αθωότητα των παιδικών μας χρόνων. Αντι αυτών μας αποκάλυψε εναν περίεργο…άγγελο! Μια σωματοφόρα κόκκινη οντότητα με χέρια, με πόδια, με σώμα,…
