Prettige feite
Chilantaisaurus had one of the largest upper arm bones of any meat-eating dinosaur, measuring 58 centimetres (23 inches) long.1
Its arms were long compared to its legs, similar to spinosaurids like Suchomimus, but different from other big predators.1
The first fossils were found in 1960 by a joint Sino-Soviet expedition, about 60 kilometres (37 miles) north of Jilantai Salt Lake.1
Scientists are not sure exactly how old the rocks are, but they are definitely younger than 92 million years, and maybe from the Santonian or Campanian stages.1
Some bones once thought to belong to Chilantaisaurus were later shown to be from other dinosaurs, like a tooth from a theropod and a vertebra from a sauropod.1
