New Dinosaur Species with Sail-Like Back Discovered
Paleontologists have discovered a new dinosaur species, Istiorachis macarthurae, on the Isle of Wight, notable for its striking sail-like back, which likely served as a sexual display rather than for temperature regulation. The species, from over 120 million years ago, was about 2 meters tall and weighed around 1000 kg, and its unique features help highlight the diversity of early Cretaceous dinosaurs in the area.
