Latest News About New Dinosaur Species

Here are the latest notable dinosaur discoveries reported recently:

• Joaquinraptor casali from Patagonia, Argentina, described in 2025 in Nature Communications. It belongs to the megaraptorans and is known from a relatively complete skeleton, offering new clues about this group’s anatomy and potential hunting behavior.[1][2]
• In Europe, two new sauropod species were identified in Romania from the Hațeg Basin, Petrustitan hungaricus and Uriash kadici, enriching the record of Late Ccretaceous titanosaurs in Europe.[6]
• A separate report from the UK noted a new dinosaur described from fossil material in Chile, with ongoing museum exhibitions highlighting potential new species in the broader dinosaur lineage.[7]
• Additional gaps in the megaraptorans’ diversity were discussed in media coverage of Argentinian finds, emphasizing how new skeletons help close phylogenetic and geographic gaps for this group.[2]
• A 2026 update from ITV highlighted new specimens and exhibitions featuring potentially new species, including Juliasaurus in Wyoming as part of ongoing discoveries and public outreach.[9]
