A new study has described new postcranial remains belonging to a turisaur from the Early Cretaceous Wealden Supergroup of the United Kingdom, marking the first confirmed member of the group known from Cretaceous Europe. The description of these remains provides further evidence of turiosaurs surviving post J/K extinction boundary (145 million years ago). The paper describing these remains also suggests that Tendaguria should be classified as a turiosaur. Here is an image of some of the remains used to describe the new turiosaur and a link to the paper describing the new study.
