Naam beteken: “mosaic horned face”1

Het geëet: PlanteDino's met horingsLaat Kryt

Mosaiceratops was a small, plant-eating dinosaur with a beak and a frill on its head. It lived in what is now China during the Late Cretaceous, about 93 to 72 million years ago. This little dinosaur is special because it had a mix of features from different horned dinosaurs, like a mosaic.1 2

Prettige feite

Mosaiceratops had a mix of features from different horned dinosaur groups, which is why it's named after a mosaic.1

It was one of the smallest horned dinosaurs, only about 1 meter (3.3 feet) long and weighing around 10 kilograms (22 pounds).1

Unlike many other horned dinosaurs, Mosaiceratops had no teeth in its premaxilla (the front part of its upper jaw).1

Its skeleton shows that it was a ground-dwelling, active animal that walked on four legs.2

Mosaiceratops lived in a time when the Earth was warmer and had different plants than today.2

KI-prent van Mosaiceratops — 'n KI-prent van hoe Mosaiceratops dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.

Mite-breker

Mite: Some people think Mosaiceratops is a type of Psittacosaurus because it has similar features.

Waarheid: Scientists now think Mosaiceratops is a more primitive relative, and the similarities are due to convergent evolution, not direct ancestry.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Mosaiceratops
Benoem deur: Zheng et al. 20153
Groep: Dino's met horings
Familie / klade: Neoceratopsia3
Klassifikasie: Ornithischia > Ceratopsia3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 94 tot 72 miljoen jaar (Turonian / Campanian)3
Rotsformasies: Xiaguan3
Lande: China3
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: Mosaiceratops was named and described in 2015 by Zheng Wenjie, Jin Xingsheng, and Xu Xing. The fossil was found in the Xiaguan Formation in Henan Province, China.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are still debating whether Mosaiceratops is the most primitive neoceratopsian or if it's more closely related to Psittacosaurus.1
