Prettige feite
Morelladon's back spines were very tall. The longest ones were over four times taller than the bones of the vertebrae they sat on.1
This dinosaur lived about 130 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.1
Morelladon is known from a partial skeleton that includes seven back vertebrae, part of the hip bones, and a tooth.1
Scientists think Morelladon may have had a sail on its back, made of skin stretched over those tall spines.2
Morelladon was a styracosternan, meaning it was a close relative of Iguanodon.2
The name Morelladon honors the town of Morella in Spain, where the fossil was found.1
