This might be the cutest Easter egg ever!

Meet Doolysaurus huhmini, a newly-discovered species of Thescelosaurid ornithischian dinosaur which lived around 113-97 million years ago in the Early Cretaceous of what is now South Korea. Known only from the partial skeletal fossils of a single small hatchling, Doolysaurus is the first dinosaur found on Korean soil with some cranial material and is significant for understanding not only the ontogeny of Thescelosaurids, but also the early evolutionary history of these badger-like ornithischians in East Asia.

Smeshannyi mir: longodensia - important clade of bipedal cursorial thescelosaurids from Eurasia and Africa. Three species: karagandromeus (thipical member of the clade, from Middle Asia) and two oviboscisauriscines (unusual bulk subclade): camargarchontes and abu-maghreb - both living near Black and Mediterranian sea

Thescelosaurus study

[mesozoicmarket]

A dinosaur phalange of a Thescelosaurus sp. from the Hell Creek Formation from the Hell Creek Formation in Powder River County, Montana, United States. This lesser known basal neornithischian lived at the end of the Mesozoic. There are two species of this genus found in the Maastrichtian aged Lancian deposits in the United States, Thescelosaurus neglectus and Thescelosaurus garbanii. A third species, Thescelosaurus assiniboiensis comes from the similarly aged Frenchman Formation.

Koreanosaurus boseongensis, a dinosaur that unfortunately hasn’t been covered in any Korean dinosaur documentaries.

Nevadadromeus schimtti

Nevadadromeus was a genus of neornithischian dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period. Its type species is Nevadadromeus schmitti. The only specimen was found near the Valley of Fire in the Willow Tank Formation in the U.S. state of Nevada in 2008. It represents both the first non-avian dinosaur and the first unique dinosaur known from Nevada.

The specimen was not described or named until 2022, in which it was assigned to Thescelosaurinae. Nevadadromeus is known from fragmentary remains including the proximal femora, several vertebrae without neural arches, ossified tendon fragments, several pedal phalanges, and some other unidentifiable remains.

Sanxiasaurus modaoxiensis

Sanxiasaurus was a genus of neornithischian dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic. The only specimen was found in the Xintiangou Formation of Yunyang, Chongqing Municipality, China. It is the oldest known neornithischian from Asia.

Its autapomorphies include at least four sacrals, a laterally bowed humerus, an obturator process located midway on the ischial shaft, a broadened and wing-shaped lesser trochanter of the femur, which is also subequal in anteroposterior width to the greater trochanter; and a distal tibia with elongate posterolateral process.

It is more basal than Lesothosaurus, but more derived than Hexinlusaurus. The holotype fossil consists of 55 postcranial bones, including vertebrae, both humeri, radii, and ulnas, and several leg bones.
