An article published in the journal “Scientific Reports” describes the identification of a new species of duck-billed dinosaur that lived about 72 million years ago, in the Late Cretaceous period, in today’s Japan. A team of paleontologists led by Professor Yoshitsugu Kobayashi of the Japanese Hokkaido University Museum named it Kamuysaurus japonicus and classified in the family of hadrosaurids after examining the almost complete skeleton available.
