Just off Twitter, saw this headline A new genus and species of ornithomimosaur, Afromimus tenerensis, is described based on a fragmentary skeleton from the Lower Cretaceous (Aptian—Albian) El Rhaz Formation of Niger. The holotype and only known individual preserves caudal vertebrae, chevrons and portions of the right hind limb. It is a pay-walled paper. Abstract available. http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.5710/AMGH.23.10.2017.3155

The Venice skeleton of Ouranosaurus nigeriensis from the Elrhaz Formation at Gadoufaoua, Niger is described in this paper. A rare Ornithopod from North Africa. There is no agreement on the phylogenetic placement of O. nigeriensis which was not in the scope of this paper but it has been placed as an Iguanodont & Hadrosauroid. A bit older than the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco but who knows what may pop up with future discoveries. Bertozzo F, Dalla Vecchia FM, Fabbri M.
