Prettige feite

Ferrisaurus is the first unique dinosaur species ever described from British Columbia, Canada.1

Its fossils were discovered in 1971 by a geologist named Kenny F. Larsen while he was surveying for uranium along a railway line.1

Ferrisaurus lived about 68 to 67 million years ago, during the very end of the Age of Dinosaurs.1

It was a leptoceratopsid, a group of small, hornless ceratopsians that were about 2 to 3 metres long.1

The name Ferrisaurus means 'iron lizard', because the bones were found near a railway line made of iron.1

Its fossils include parts of the shoulder, arm, leg, and foot bones, but no skull was found.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Ferrisaurus
Benoem deur: Arbour and Evans 20195
Groep: Dino's met horings
Familie / klade: Leptoceratopsidae5
Klassifikasie: Ornithischia > Ceratopsia5
Ouderdom van die rotse: 72 tot 66 miljoen jaar (Maastrichtian)5
Rotsformasies: Tango Creek5
Lande: Kanada5
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database5
Ontdekking: Ferrisaurus was named in 2019 by paleontologists Victoria Arbour and David Evans. The fossils were collected in 1971 by geologist Kenny F. Larsen along the BC Rail line in British Columbia, Canada.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how Ferrisaurus is related to other leptoceratopsids, but they think it was more closely related to Leptoceratops than to Montanoceratops.1
