Bony-tailed Dinosaur Skeleton Found in Korea December 7, 2010

Look at this pretty rendering of Koreaceratops hwaseongensis, a horned, bony-tailed dinosaur recently discovered in South Korea (the non-belligerent, relatively trustworthy one). The pretty picture is possible because this guy was nearly complete when found:
Look at that tail! And a nearly full pelvis structure (though a little beat up, I grant you)! He was probably about six feet long and a swimmer…unless that tail is for flying and the torso is really, really wrong.
Rendering is copyright Julius T. Csotonyi. The paper by Yuong-Nam Lee of the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources and Yoshitsugu Kobayashi of the Hokkaido University Museum appears in Naturwissenschaften. I do not have the budget for this one, so don’t ask.
