Prettige feite

1

The name Chuandongocoelurus means 'hollow tail from Chuandong', because its tail bones were hollow like other meat-eaters.1

2

The first fossil was a thighbone that was 201 millimeters long, about the size of a large banana.1

3

Scientists think it was a young adult when it died, because the bones in its spine were not fully fused yet.1

4

One fossil, a set of neck bones, might actually belong to a different dinosaur, maybe a relative of Elaphrosaurus.1

5

It lived in the same area as other dinosaurs like the armored Shunosaurus, but it was much smaller.1

6

Its leg bones show it was a fast runner, with long shin bones compared to its thigh.2
