Prettige feite

Galeamopus was named in 2015, but its fossils were first found in 1884.1

The name Galeamopus means 'helmet need', a joke about the brittle braincase of the type specimen.1

Galeamopus had a unique skull with a curved paroccipital process on the back of the head.1

It had thirteen unique features that set it apart from other diplodocid dinosaurs.1

The first Galeamopus skeleton was found by William H. Utterback in 1902 near Sheridan, Wyoming.1

One Galeamopus specimen, nicknamed 'Max', was discovered in 1995 at the Howe-Stephens Quarry.1

KI-prent van Galeamopus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Galeamopus 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.

?When did Galeamopus live?

Galeamopus lived during the Late Jurassic, about 155 to 152 million years ago.1 3

?What did Galeamopus eat?

Galeamopus was a herbivore that ate plants like ferns, as mentioned in the page intro.1
