Thescelosaurus is actually a really interesting genus. There should definitely be more figures of it. It's a weirdly primitive dinosaur living right at the end of the Cretaceous.

Hmm, haven't heard of this one yet. That's interesting that it was a "primitive dino" but lived at the end of the Cretaceous.
And yes, it should def be made into a better little figure. Sounds like something CollectA would tackle.

I love the stupid comments below the story. Hahahaha. A new subspecies of Thescelosaurus huh? Cool.
I haven't had time to read any lit on anything that's come out recently due to the move, and school. Ugh. I wanna know more about this one.

Thescelosaurus neglectus assiniboiensis (just as the Sumatran tiger is Panthera tigris sumatrae, a subspecies of the tiger Panthera tigris). |

Anything that's not Thescelosaurus neglectus (given its peculiarities and how 'rare' it is) deserves a subspecies, but then again I haven't read anything about this one, so I'm all intrigued and waiting.

So this must be the latest surviving Thescelosaurus species, how cool! I think this is my new favorite small(er) ornithipod.
Regarding what has been about dinosaur subspecies, have any dinosaur subspecies ever been discovered? I imagine that would be very difficult to determine from fossils alone.
