These tiny dinosaur fossils fooled scientists for 20 years
Tiny dinosaur fossils that puzzled scientists for over 20 years have finally revealed their true identity. Rather than belonging to a miniature species, they are actually baby ankylosaurs—some less than a year old, including a possible hatchling. By studying bone growth patterns, researchers confirmed these young dinosaurs hadn’t yet developed into full-sized adults. The discovery sheds new light on how ankylosaurs grew, showing they began developing armor surprisingly early.
