In Morocco, scientists uncovered Spicomellus afer, the world’s oldest armored dinosaur with meter-long spikes and the earliest known tail weapon. This bizarre discovery is rewriting what we know about dinosaur evolution.
A cousin of Adratiklit, the «mountain's lizard», the Thyreosaurus atlasicus is a plant-eating dinosaur that lived around 168 million years ago in Morocco and had special armor plates on its back.
A group of scientists combined new methods to study dinosaur teeth in Morocco's Kem Kem Basin. These methods, which utilize artificial intelligence, have yielded better results.
Recent Morocco fossil discoveries have given a glimpse into the final days of dinosaurs in Africa, American paleontologist Nicholas Longrich told Yabiladi.
New discoveries from Morocco not only challenge our understanding of dinosaur extinction but also shed light on the vibrant ecosystems that existed millions of years ago.
A group of researchers discovered the fossils of the first duckbilled dinosaur that swam to Africa. Found in Morocco, the beast is believed to have crossed oceans to get to its destination.
After it was suggested that he could be a semi-aquatic creature in 2014, a recent study has revealed that Spinosaurus could actually swim. The theropod that lived in Morocco was perfectly equipped to prey under water.
In a study published in August, a team from the Natural History Museum in London announced that they have discovered the oldest Stegosaur in Morocco. Known as Adratiklit Boulahfa, which means the «mountain lizard», the dinosaur is the first Stegosaur to be found in North Africa.
