Huaxiazhoulong shouwen Zhu et al., 2024 (new genus and species)

(Tail club of Huaxiazhoulong shouwen, from Zhu et al., 2024)

Meaning of name: Huaxiazhoulong = Chinese armor dragon [in Chinese]; shouwen = painted in the shape of a beast [in Chinese]

Age: Late Cretaceous (Campanian)

Where found: Tangbian Formation, Jiangxi, China

How much is known: Partial skeleton of one individual including most major regions of the body other than the skull.

Notes: Huaxiazhoulong was an ankylosaurid ankylosaur, a group of armored dinosaurs in which most members had a bony club on the end of their tail. The club was likely used both as defense against predators and for fighting with members of their own species. Huaxiazhoulong can be distinguished from other known ankylosaurids in details of its hip and limb bones. It is estimated to have been about 6 m in total body length and is the first dinosaur to be named based on skeletal remains from the Tangbian Formation.

You will be taken to a remote facility to undergo the transformation and after it is complete, you will be released to roam freely alongside others who were also turned into dinosaurs.

Once you have cast your vote, please reply which individual species from the group you chose you would like to become!

Ankylosaurus is so Overpowered because not even the Therizinosaurus can Penetrate through the Armor

Dirt The Ankylosaurus

My new OC, who was born out of thinking "what kind of dinosaur would Michael Myers be?" A grumpy old anky nicknamed Dirt. Even he won't remember his real name anymore. He had already seen a lot in his life, but he was not prepared for the fact that in his seventh decade he would have to survive alone again. Limping, he was forced to flee from his native Swamps. But what awaits him next?

hanging with my favourite dinosaur, ❤ MINMI ❤

Minmi paravertebra was small (2.5-3m long) and lived in Australia like me. Perhaps in another life we could have been friends. At least I can draw him having a fun eating apples
