Prettige feite

Koreaceratops had very tall spines on its tail bones, some over five times the height of the bone they attached to.1 2

Scientists think those tall tail spines might have helped Koreaceratops swim, like a paddle or a fin.1 2

The only known fossil of Koreaceratops was found in a sandstone block that had been used to build a dam.1

Koreaceratops was the first ceratopsian dinosaur ever discovered in South Korea.1 2

The type specimen was about eight years old when it died and had not yet reached full size or maturity.1

Koreaceratops lived in a semiarid environment, like a dry or dusty landscape.1

?How big was Koreaceratops?

About 1.3 metres (4.3 feet) long, based on an estimate by paleontologist Thomas Holtz.1

?Could Koreaceratops swim?

Maybe! Scientists think its very tall tail spines might have helped it swim like a paddle, but the evidence is not certain.3 1

?What did Koreaceratops eat?

Koreaceratops was a plant-eater, like other ceratopsian dinosaurs.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Koreaceratops
Benoem deur: Lee et al. 20104
Groep: Dino's met horings
Familie / klade: Leptoceratopsidae4
Klassifikasie: Ornithischia > Ceratopsia4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 113 tot 100 miljoen jaar (Albian)4
Rotsformasies: Tando beds4
Lande: Suid-Korea4
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: Koreaceratops was named in 2011 by Yuong-Nam Lee and colleagues. The fossil was first noticed by a public official in 2008, after it had been built into a dam in Hwaseong City, South Korea.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly where Koreaceratops fits on the ceratopsian family tree. Some studies place it near Archaeoceratops, while a 2022 study suggests it is closer to Protoceratops.1
