Akainacephalus johnsoni (full video, no music)

Akainacephalus johnsoni, a new species of ankylosaurid dinosaur never before described in scientific literature, is introduced by paleontologists Jell Wiersma, PhD candidate at James Cook University, and Randall Iris, chief curator at the Natural History Museum of Utah. The new species was discovered in 2008 by Scott Richardson, a paleontologist with the BLM, during an expedition to the Kaiparowits Formation in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. For years, scientists and volunteers have been preparing and studying the fossil at the Natural History Museum of Utah, where it is now permanently housed. A mounted skeleton of Akainacephalus johnsoni is on display in the Past Worlds exhibit at the museum in Salt Lake City.
