Researchers have identified a brand new dinosaur species from well-preserved skulls found in Greenland: a two-legged herbivore that researchers believe is the first evidence of a 'distinct Greenlandic dinosaur species.'
describes the new dinosaur, which has been dubbed Issi saaneq, chosen as a tribute to Greenlandic Inuit, meaning “cold bone” in their local language.
The new dinosaur shares some similarities with sauropods, such as a long neck, but would’ve been much smaller. According to the paper, the skulls differ from other similar dinosaurs through the combination of a few unique traits, including four cranial structures unique to Issi saaneq and differences in the length and shape of certain bones in relation to each other.
The two skulls differ in size related to each other, but researchers believe this is because one is an adult and one is a juvenile of the same species.
