The newly-discovered dinosaur species, Spicomellus afer, is the earliest-known ankylosaur and the first ankylosaur to be named from Africa.
Spicomellus afer lived in what is now Morocco during the Middle Jurassic period, some 168 million years ago.
The new species belongs to Ankylosauria, a diverse group of armored herbivorous dinosaurs.
