The #Candeleros has a diverse fossil record of small animals. Primitive legged snakes, turtles, and small mammals have all been discovered in these rocks. The 1.5 meter #Buitreraptor likely exploited these as food.

Was expecting a new abelisaurid, got something straight out of a spec project. Meet Jakapil kaniukura, a basal thyreophoran from the Late Cretaceous aged Candeleros Formation! For context, this thing lived alongside Giganotosaurus.

Some of the extinct fauna of the Candeleros Formation. I'm working on a big information board with some of the animals discovered at the site to date. Still incomplete, but I hope to finish it soon.
