Prettige feite

Nemegtonykus had very short arms with one big claw on each hand, like other alvarezsaurs.1

Its name means 'swift claw' because scientists think it was a fast runner.1

Three Nemegtonykus individuals were found together with several oviraptorid skeletons in a small area less than half a square metre.1

Its leg bones were fused in a special way, which made its feet strong for running.1

Scientists think Nemegtonykus was more common in its ecosystem than previously thought, because so many fossils were found in one spot.1

julle het gevra

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Nemegtonykus

?How big was Nemegtonykus?

It was a moderate-sized alvarezsaurid, but no exact length or weight is given in the sources. The holotype includes a partial skeleton without the skull, so its full size is not precisely known.3 2

?What did Nemegtonykus eat?

It was a meat-eating theropod, and like other alvarezsaurs it likely used its strong claws to dig for insects or other small prey.3 1

?Was Nemegtonykus a fast runner?

Yes, its name means Nemegt claw in Latin, and its long legs with fused foot bones suggest it was a fast runner.3 2

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Nemegtonykus
Benoem deur: Lee et al. 20194
Groep: Vleisvretende dino's
Familie / klade: Alvarezsauroidea4
Klassifikasie: Theropoda4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 72 tot 66 miljoen jaar (Maastrichtian)4
Rotsformasies: Nemegt4

Ontdekking: Nemegtonykus was named in 2019 by a team of Korean and Mongolian scientists who found its fossils in 2008 during the Korea-Mongolia International Dinosaur Expedition.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are still debating exactly how Nemegtonykus and other alvarezsaurs are related to other dinosaurs, and whether they used their claws for digging or for other purposes.1
