Prettige feite

Oksoko had only two functional fingers on each hand, a rare feature among theropod dinosaurs.2

Fossils of at least six Oksoko individuals have been found, some preserved together in a resting pose with their heads tucked under their arms.2

Oksoko lived about 72 to 66 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.5

The name Oksoko comes from a three-headed eagle in Altaic mythology, because the main fossil block contains three skulls.1 2

Oksoko was a type of oviraptorid, a group of feathered dinosaurs that were close relatives of birds.2

The specific name avarsan means 'rescued' in Mongolian, because the fossils were confiscated from poachers.1 2

KI-prent van Oksoko — 'n KI-prent van hoe Oksoko 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.

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Oksoko
Benoem deur: Funston et al. 20205
Groep: Snaakse dino's met vere
Familie / klade: Oviraptoridae5
Klassifikasie: Theropoda > Oviraptorosauria5
Ouderdom van die rotse: 72 tot 66 miljoen jaar (Maastrichtian)5
Rotsformasies: Nemegt5

Ontdekking: Oksoko was named in 2020 by paleontologists Gregory Funston and colleagues. The fossils were confiscated from poachers in Mongolia.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are still debating why Oksoko's arms became so reduced, and whether it used its two-fingered hands for foraging, nesting, or display.2
