The small but well-protected dino reveals a whole line of dinosaurs that had gone unnoticed in South America.

Fossils of a small, prickly dinosaur recently discovered in South America may represent an entire lineage of armored dinosaurs previously unknown to science.

J. kaniukura weighed about as much as a house cat and had a row of protective spines running from its neck to its tail and probably grew to about 5 feet long. It was a plant eater, with leaf-shaped teeth similar to those of Stegosaurus. Paleontologists at the Félix de Azara Natural History Foundation in Argentina uncovered a partial skeleton of a subadult J. kaniukura in the Río Negro province in northern Patagonia.
