Prettige feite

1

Monolophosaurus lived during the Middle Jurassic period, about 180 to 159 million years ago.1

2

Its name means 'single-crested lizard' because of the single crest on its head.1

3

The crest on its head was made from its nasal and lacrimal bones.2

4

The crest had empty spaces inside that connected to a hole in the front of its skull.2

5

Scientists think the crest was used for visual recognition by other Monolophosaurus dinosaurs.2

6

Its fossils were found in the Shishugou Formation in China, which is a rock layer from the Middle to Late Jurassic.4
