Abstract in brief
- A new iguanodontian dinosaur species, Iani smithi, has been discovered in Utah's Late Cretaceous sediments, showcasing unique skeletal features.
- Phylogenetic analysis suggests that Iani belongs to the North American rhabdodontomorph group, characterized by specific dental and skull traits.
- This discovery enhances our understanding of biodiversity in the Mussentuchit Member, indicating at least five different dinosaur clades coexisting during the early Late Cretaceous in North America.
