I don't think I ever sold any of these as a print on Redbubble but I still like this very polite looking Jakapil.

Did this shortly after this scrungly beast was published. Fell in love instantly. Look at it's armor and small arms and elegant jawline!

Well it’s been a wild month-and-a-third of competition, but Dinosaur March Madness 2023: Rising Stars has come to an end! Congratulations to our four finalists: Big Parrot, Meme Reboot, Spikey Creatur, and Gay. After a final brutal slugfest Caihong emerged as the victor by a significant margin, winning all three separate matches. Shockingly, the Queer Neurodivergent Web Site felt rather fond of the shiny fluffy rainbow colours dinosaur!

Caihong joins the hallowed halls of DMM winners past, alongside Corvus, Maiasaura, Halszkaraptor, and Amargasaurus, making it the third maniraptoran to claim the top spot! The people love a bird, is what we’re learning.

A huge thank you to the members of the ADAD team who pulled this all together with planning, researching, writing, arting, the whole lot! @zygodactylus, @raptorcivilization, @i-draws-dinosaurs, @otussketching, @albertonykus, everyone who’s put their time and effort into this project is an absolute legend.

And thank you so much to everyone who voted, made posts and debated in the notes!! It was absolutely wonderful to see how much people got into it especially after having taken A Bit of a hiatus, the enthusiasm that all of you have really makes the contest what it is!

That’s all for now, we hope y’all had a fun time and got to learn about some sick new dinosaurs! And coming up next year, of course, we’re leaving the dinosaurs behind... on our long-awaited trip... into the Permian

DINOVEMBER - DAY 13

A Jakapil! And also a very red one @1dinodaily

As always, you can get all these cute stuff in my redbubble

Although at first Jakapil may seem small and defenseless, once his fuse catches fire, not even the largest beast will resist its explosive counterattack.

Jakapil

Jakapil is a genus of basal thyreophoran dinosaur from what is now Argentina. It has a novel morphotype among thyreophorans, including the presence of a predentary bone, large, low osteoderms, and a bipedal stance. These unique characteristics put into question its status as a thyreophoran, and its phylogenetic placement is still under some debate. It is estimated to be less than 1.5 m long and 4.5-7 kg in weight, based on femoral circumference. Due to its straight, narrow snout, it is suggested that Jakapil did not use its teeth and jaws to shear leaves, but likely processed tough plant material through chewing, as evidenced by the high amount of wear on the teeth.

The thyreophorans were heavily armored ornithischian dinosaurs, with their most famous representatives being the stegosaurs and the ankylosaurs. Earlier members of the group were all small bipedal animals covered in rows of prickly osteoderms, and until now these "primitive" forms were known only from the early-to-mid Jurassic, around 200-165 million years ago.

But now the recent discovery of Jakapil kaniukura is suggesting a lineage of early thyreophorans actually survived for much much longer than previously thought – all the way into the Late Cretaceous, about 97-94 million years ago.

Just 1.5m long (5'), Jakapil lived in what is now southern Argentina, in an ancient desert with a braided river system. It was bipedal, with a short beak, small arms, and a body bristling with spiky armor, and its unusually deep lower jaw and heavily worn teeth indicate it fed on rather tough vegetation that required a lot of chewing to process.

It's currently only known from somewhat fragmentary remains, so reconstructions of its full appearance are rather speculative and there's already been some dispute about whether Jakapil actually was a thyreophoran. One proposal is that it shared a lot of anatomical features with early ceratopsians instead, which if true would make it an incredibly weird armored ceratopsian, and also the first definitive member of that group from South America. But the ceratopsian-like features could also just be due to convergent evolution – and a Jakapil-like dinosaur might actually help explain the only other known dubious South American "ceratopsian" Notoceratops, and the similarly-disputed Australian Serendipaceratops.

But whatever it was – late-surviving basal thyreophoran, southern armored ceratopsian, or even a previously unknown lineage of ornithishcians entirely new to science – it's an exciting and unexpected discovery.

Jakapil kaniukura portrait.

[i-draws-dinosaurs]

Quick sketch of brand new weird dinosaur Jakapil kaniukura! Jakapil seems to belong to an early group of thyreophorans, the clade that also includes stegosaurs and ankylosaurs. Here’s the thing though,,,

Every basal thyreophoran is from the early Jurassic, they seemed to have not persisted long and left only the two major armoured dinosaur groups around. Except Jakapil shows up, waltzing in on its two bipedal legs, in the late Cretaceous. Why?? How did you get there!!!!

The skeleton is pretty fragmentary but we know for sure that (A) it had armour, (B) it had a weird gigachad looking lower jaw, and (C) it had teeny little arms! And it was also adorably cuddle-sized!

Honestly I love this new guy I think it’s an incredibly weird but also really fitting addition to the ranks for the Dinosauria and I would like to hold one please

Jakapil kaniukura Riguetti et al., 2022 (new genus and species)

(Select bones and schematic skeletal of Jakapil kaniukura, with preserved bones in white, from Riguetti et al., 2022)

Meaning of name: Jakapil = shield bearer [in Puelche]; kaniukura = crest stone [in Mapudungun, referring to the large ridge along the underside of its lower jaw]

Age: Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian), around 94–97 million years ago

Where found: Candeleros Formation, Río Negro, Argentina

How much is known: Partial skeleton of one individual, including parts of the skull, limbs, and over 40 armor plates.

Notes: Jakapil was a small thyreophoran (armored dinosaur), estimated as having been less than 1.5 m long and 4.5–7 kg in mass. Although it is not very completely known, it exhibits many features that are unusual for a thyreophoran, including a strong, deep lower jaw and very slender forelimbs, the latter of which suggests it walked on its hind legs. The only other thyreophoran previously thought to have been fully bipedal was the Early Jurassic Scutellosaurus.

The best known thyreophorans include the plated stegosaurs and the heavily armored ankylosaurs, but Jakapil may not have belonged to either group. If this is correct, then it is by far the latest-surviving thyreophoran currently known that was neither a stegosaur nor an ankylosaur.

Given the combination of limited remains and strange characteristics, it is perhaps not surprising that a few researchers have expressed skepticism of a thyreophoran identity for Jakapil, with one reviewer of the description paper noting that some of its features more closely resemble ceratopsians. Hopefully, more complete remains of this dinosaur will one day be found to shed further light on its anatomy and evolutionary relationships.
