PALAEONTOLOGISTS have unearthed a new species of stegosaur from southern China that is the oldest ever to have been found in Asia - and perhaps even the world.
creature being relatively small at just 9 feet from tip to tail, experts have said that they are unsure at present if the specimen represents an adult or a juvenile individual. Based on the sediments from which it was unearthed, researchers have determined that B. primitivus lived some 168 million years ago, during the Middle Jurassic period — meaning that it could shine a light on where and how stegosaurs first evolved.
