Dinosaur of the day Patagosaurus, a Eusauropod that lived in the Early–Middle Jurassic in what is now Patagonia, Argentina.

In dinosaur news this week:

  • A new unnamed tyrannosauroid was discovered in Idaho which was smaller than Moros, but bigger than Suskityrannus
  • There’s a new therizinosaur named Paralitherizinosaurus that was found in Hokkaido, Japan
  • A new specimen of Yulong mini was found, which helps show how the dinosaur grew as it aged
  • Sauropods may have developed soft tissue pads on their feet by the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic, and this may have been a key adaptation for them to evolve into giants
  • The Peabody Museum of Natural History may have fossils of a new tyrannosaur species from the east coast of the U.S.
  • The Philip J. Currie Museum took visitors on a rafting tour to look for fossils this summer
  • We also put together a list of 9 places to go dig for fossils
