Crateropteryx

Naam beteken: “bowl wing”1

Crateropteryx was a small, meat-eating bird that lived during the Jurassic Period. It had a humerus, or upper arm bone, that looked like a modern bird's. Scientists know it from just one fossil bone found in England.1 2

Prettige feite

Crateropteryx lived about 168 to 165 million years ago, during the Middle Bathonian stage of the Jurassic.1

The only known fossil of Crateropteryx is a humerus, or upper arm bone, which was found in the Taynton Limestone Formation.1

Crateropteryx was named by the paleontologist Harry Seeley in 1900.1

Its full scientific name is Crateropteryx colei.1

Crateropteryx was a ground-dwelling bird that laid eggs.1

The Stonesfield Slate quarries where Crateropteryx was found were once a shallow, marginal marine environment.2

KI-prent van Crateropteryx — 'n KI-prent van hoe Crateropteryx dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Crateropteryx
Benoem deur: Seeley 19003
Groep: Vroeë voëls
Familie / klade: Carinatae3
Klassifikasie: Theropoda > Avialae3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 168 tot 165 miljoen jaar (Bathonian)3
Rotsformasies: Taynton Limestone3
Lande: Verenigde Koninkryk3
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: Crateropteryx was named by Harry Seeley in 1900 based on a single humerus fossil. The bone was collected from the Stonesfield Slate quarries in England, possibly as early as the 1790s.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how big Crateropteryx was, because only one arm bone has been found.1
