EDMONTON -- An old dinosaur has been given a new name.
A new species of ankylosaur was discovered in Mongolia in 2000 by a team led by University of Alberta researchers.
A zoological journal published a paper this week by the same group naming the creature Zaraapelta nomadis.
Zaraapelta is a combination of Mongolian and Greek works meaning "hedgehog" and "shield."
Like other ankylosaurs, Zaraapelta was an armoured plant-eater with a gigantic club for a tail.
But it was more spectacular than most, with distinctive horns and an elaborate pattern of bumps and grooves behind its eyes.
Its skull is part of a collection at the Mongolian Paleontologist Center.
