酷東西

趣味知識

Acantholipan was named in 2018, making it a relatively new dinosaur discovery.1

Its fossils were found in a marine layer of the Pen Formation, meaning it may have lived near a sea coast.1

The only known skeleton is partial and lacks a skull, but includes a spike-like bone from its back.1

Acantholipan belonged to the nodosaur family, a group of armored dinosaurs with spikes along their bodies.1

Its closest relative is thought to be Nodosaurus, another armored dinosaur from North America.1

The name Acantholipan combines Greek for 'spine' and the Spanish name for the Lipan Apache people.1
