Some of the most remarkable dinosaur fossils were found this year, including one of the most heavily armoured creatures that ever lived.

Zavacephale rinpoche: This dome-headed dinosaur found in Mongolia lived 108 million years ago, making it the oldest of its kind ever discovered. The fossil skull protruding from the ground was described as a “cabochon jewel”. While other species in the group could reach 4 metres in length and up to 400 kg, this teenage specimen would have been about a metre long, weighing about 6 kg.
