Prettige feite

Gigantspinosaurus means 'giant spine lizard,' named for the huge comma-shaped spines on its shoulder blades.1

Its fossils include the first skin impressions ever found for any stegosaur, showing what its skin looked like.1

It lived about 168 to 161 million years ago, during the Middle to Late Jurassic.2

Gigantspinosaurus was a medium-sized stegosaur, bigger than the early Huayangosaurus but smaller than later stegosaurs like Tuojiangosaurus.1

The only known skeleton is almost complete, including a pair of lower jaws, neck and back bones, and a fused hip bone.6

Scientists think it was an adult because its teeth were worn down from chewing tough plants.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Gigantspinosaurus

?How big was Gigantspinosaurus?

About 4.2 to 7 metres (14 to 23 ft) long and around 700 kilograms (1,500 lb) in weight.3

?What did Gigantspinosaurus eat?

It ate plants. Its teeth were small and leaf-shaped, and the wear on them suggests it chewed tough plants.3 4

?Why did Gigantspinosaurus have shoulder spines?

Scientists are not sure. The huge comma-shaped spines were probably for defence or display, but no source gives a definite answer.3 5

?When did Gigantspinosaurus live?

It lived during the Late Jurassic, about 150 million years ago, in what is now China.3 4

?Was Gigantspinosaurus a dinosaur?

Yes, it was a stegosaur, a type of plated dinosaur that walked on four legs.3

?Did Gigantspinosaurus have feathers?

No, it had skin with scales. Its fossils preserved skin impressions showing rosettes of scales, not feathers.3
