Issi is a plateosaurid dinosaur discovered in 2021 from the Late Triassic Malmros Klint Formation of Greenland. It contains one species Issi saaneq. Previously Issi was assigned to the Plateosaurus trossingensis, but new finds allowed for a reassessment of that material that showed that it possessed features thought to be exclusive to Brazilian plateosaurids such as Unaysaurus and Macrocollum. This ultimately led to the designation of Issi as a distinct genus[1].
