The paper is published in @nature.com Ecology and Evolution. I wish to thank Huang Jiadong, Pascal Godefroit and the rest of the Chinese team to have included me in this amazing project, I have now TWO DINOSAURS species on my list!

The specimen AGM 16793 is housed at the Anhui Geological Musem. The name means “The Spiky Dragon of Dong Zhiming” in honor of the recently passed Chinese paleontologist.
