Lametasaurus was a big meat-eating dinosaur that lived in India about 70 million years ago. It walked on two legs and had strong back legs for chasing prey. Scientists are still figuring out exactly what it looked like because its fossils are a mix of different animals.13

Prettige feite

1

Lametasaurus was first thought to be an armored dinosaur like Stegosaurus, but later scientists realized it was a meat-eater.1

2

The original fossils included bones, teeth, and armor plates, but in 1964 scientists decided only the armor plates belonged to Lametasaurus.1

3

Some scientists think the leg bones actually belong to another dinosaur called Rajasaurus, which was also a meat-eater from India.1

4

The armor plates might not be from a dinosaur at all, but from a giant plant-eating titanosaur.1

5

Lametasaurus weighed about 3,600 kilograms (7,900 pounds), as heavy as a large rhinoceros.1

6

The type specimen has been lost, so scientists cannot study it directly to solve the mystery.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Lametasaurus

?What did Lametasaurus eat?

Lametasaurus was a meat-eater, or carnivore. It ate other animals, likely smaller dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures.3

?How big was Lametasaurus?

Lametasaurus weighed about 3,600 kilograms (7,900 pounds), as heavy as a large rhinoceros. Its exact length is unknown because its fossils are a mix of different animals.1

?Why is Lametasaurus called a chimera?

Lametasaurus is called a chimera because its fossils are a mix of bones from different animals, including a meat-eating dinosaur, a plant-eating titanosaur, and maybe a crocodile. Scientists are not sure which parts belong to which animal.1

?Is Lametasaurus a real dinosaur?

Lametasaurus is considered a nomen dubium, or a doubtful name, because its original fossils are lost and it is a mix of different animals. Most scientists think it is not a valid dinosaur species.13

Mite-breker

Mite: Lametasaurus was a slow, armored plant-eater.

Waarheid: It was actually a meat-eating theropod dinosaur, and the armor plates may not even belong to it.1

Charles Alfred Matley found the fossils between 1917 and 1919 near Jabalpur, India, and named Lametasaurus indicus in 1923.1
Steeds omstrede
Scientists still debate whether Lametasaurus is a real dinosaur or a mix of different animals, and some think it might be the same as Rajasaurus.1
