The story in short
The genus Adynomosaurus dates to 2019, the year A. Prieto-Márquez and colleagues described it.
Fossils referred to Adynomosaurus date to the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian), roughly 72.2 to 66 million years ago. Finds come from Spain, including the Conques Formation. It was a herbivore and could move on two or four legs.
The fossils of Adynomosaurus are too incomplete for a responsible length, hip height, or weight, so those fields are left blank on purpose.
On the family tree it sits in Lambeosaurinae, among the ornithopod dinosaurs.
