Discovered in 2015, Wendiceratops pinhornensis, shows evidence of transition between centrosaurs and chasmosaurs. 

Notocolossus (Southern Giant)

Assorted Vertebral Fragments

Right humerus, Proximal end of the left pubis, Right tarsus and pes, metatarsus 

        Notocolossus gonzalezparejasi from the Upper Cretaceous of Mendoza Province, Argentina. With a powerfully-constructed humerus 1.76 m in length, Notocolossus is one of the largest known dinosaurs.

Dracoraptor (Dragon Thief)

Assorted Cervical Vertebrae

Assorted fragments of the manus

Slate with the fragments of the manus and furcula

Close-up of tooth

Left premaxilla with tooth

Block containing leg and hip bones

Right premaxilla

Right and Left Premaxilla

           Approximately 40% of a skeleton including, cranial and post cranial remains, representing a new genus and species of basal neotheropod dinosaur is coined, Dracoraptor hanigani. It was collected from fallen blocks from a sea cliff that exposes Late Triassic and Early Jurassic marine and quasi marine strata on the south Wales coast near the city of Cardiff.

Eotrachodon (Dawn Rough Tooth)

Skull Fragments

Skull Fragments

Skeletal Fragments

         Eotrachodon orientalis from the latest Santonian of Alabama, southeastern U.S.A. Is one of the oldest and most basal hadrosaurid dinosaurs and the only hadrosaurid from Appalachia (present day eastern North America) with a preserved skull.

Chongmingia zhengi (Xiaoting Zheng's Chongming)

Fossil Slate (Nearly complete)

       A new bird, Chongmingia zhengi, from the Jehol Biota. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that Chongmingia zhengi is basal to the dominant Mesozoic avian clades Enantiornithes and Ornithuromorpha, and represents a new basal avialan lineage.

Fukuivenator (Fukui Hunter)

Partial right premaxilla in lateral view. Partial left maxilla in lateral view. Partial left lacrimal in lateral view. Right frontal in dorsal view. Right postorbital in lateral view. Left squamosal in lateral view. Partial right dentary in lateral view.

Assorted skeletal fragments

Mounted Skeletal

         A new theropod has been discovered, coined Fukuivenator paradoxus, based on a nearly complete specimen from the Lower Cretaceous Kitadani Formation of the Tetori Group, Fukui, Japan. It shows evidence of omnivory in its teeth.

Kinnareemimus (Kinnaree Mimic)

Tibiae, Fibula, and Left Tibia

Assorted Dorsal Vertebrae

Proximal ends of the Left Pubis

Metatarsals

Dorsal Phalanges

         Postcranial remains of a small theropod dinosaur, including; Vertebrae, incomplete Pubes, Tibiae, an incomplete Fibula, Metatarsals and Phalanges. From the Early Cretaceous Sao Khua Formation of Phu Wiang, Khon Kaen Province, NE Thailand, are described as a new taxon of ornithomimosaur, Kinnareemimus khonkaenensis.
