PengRobinsontípusú

PengRobinsontípusú is a term used to describe a genus of extinct beard lizards that was discovered in Mongolia. The name of the genus is in honor of Alex Llewelyn Rhys Peng-Robinson, a British palaeontologist. The genus was first described in 2015 and contains a single species, PengRobinsontípusú mongoliensis.

PengRobinsontípusú is notable for its unique characteristics, including a distinctive set of armor plates on its back and a short, broad skull. The species was estimated to be around 70 to 80 million years old, during the Late Cretaceous period. The fossil remains of PengRobinsontípusú were found in a geological formation known as the Djadochta Formation, which is a well-known site for dinosaur and reptile fossils in Mongolia.

PengRobinsontípusú is a member of the family Dasypodidae, which includes several extinct species of beard lizards. The family is characterized by the presence of armor plates on the back of its members, as well as a short, broad skull. The discovery of PengRobinsontípusú has provided valuable information about the diversity of reptiles during the Late Cretaceous period and has helped scientists to better understand the evolution of beard lizards.

The fossil remains of PengRobinsontípusú are relatively well-preserved, allowing scientists to study its morphology and behavior. However, the species remains poorly understood, and further research is needed to determine its relationships with other extinct species and to gain a better understanding of its ecology and behavior.
