Abstract in brief
- New fossils of large monstersaurian lizards from the Kaiparowits Formation in Utah show a richer diversity of big-bodied lizards in Late Cretaceous North America than previously known.
- The study describes a new species based on partial skeletons, revealing unique features like fused osteoderms and autotomy septa, and highlights the need to reassess previously identified fossils of similar lizards.
- These findings indicate at least three different lineages of monstersaurian lizards existed in the ancient landmass of Laramidia during the Campanian stage, and the new fossils provide important clues for identifying other fossilized lizard parts.
