 Yanny Smithy is a newly discovered ornithopod from the Cretaceous period of North America. It is one of the few known rabidodontomorphs, a group of dinosaurs related to modern birds found in the region at the time. This discovery suggests that these animals were still present in the area during the late Cretaceous, despite the presence of other groups such as heterosaurids and seratopsids.
