Prettige feite
Berthasaura is the first toothless meat-eating dinosaur relative found in Brazil.1
Its skeleton was nearly complete, making it the most complete non-bird dinosaur from the Brazilian Cretaceous.1
Berthasaura lived about 121 to 72 million years ago, during the Cretaceous Period.2
It had a short, deep jaw and a downturned beak, similar to some plant-eating dinosaurs.1
Even though it was young when it died, Berthasaura already had no teeth, so it probably never grew any.1
Berthasaura is a noasaurid, a group of small, lightly built dinosaurs that are relatives of the bigger abelisaurids.1

?Did Berthasaura have teeth?
No, it had a toothless beak. Even though it was a young dinosaur when it died, it already had no teeth, so it probably never grew any.31
?Where did Berthasaura live?
In what is now southern Brazil, in a desert environment. Its fossils were found in the Goio-Erê Formation in Paraná State.31
?Is Berthasaura a dinosaur?
Yes, it is a dinosaur. It belongs to a group called ceratosaurian theropods.3
?When did Berthasaura live?
During the Cretaceous Period, about 121 to 72 million years ago.3
