Hesperornithoides was a small, bird-like dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period. It was a troodontid, a group of smart, fast predators with big brains. This dinosaur was only about as long as a cat, but it was a fierce hunter of insects and small animals.14

Prettige feite

1

Hesperornithoides was nicknamed 'Lori' before it was officially named in 2019.1

2

Its skeleton was discovered by accident in 2001 while a field crew was digging up a much larger dinosaur called Supersaurus.1

3

The fossil was found in a muddy sandstone layer that was once a wetland or lake environment.1

4

Hesperornithoides lived during the Late Jurassic, about 154 to 143 million years ago, in what is now Wyoming.4

5

This dinosaur had keratin sheaths on its claws, which are rarely preserved in fossils.1

6

Hesperornithoides was a troodontid, a group of dinosaurs closely related to birds, and its discovery helped show that bird-like dinosaurs lived much earlier than some scientists thought.1

Ontdekking
The skeleton was found in 2001 by a field crew from the Tate Geological Museum led by William Wahl, while they were excavating a Supersaurus. It was named Hesperornithoides miessleri in 2019 by Scott Hartman and colleagues.1
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are not sure if the single known specimen was an adult or a subadult, which affects estimates of its full adult size.1
