Prettige feite

Portellsaurus is known from only one fossil, a nearly complete right lower jaw bone (dentary).1

It lived about 130 to 129 million years ago, during the Barremian stage of the Early Cretaceous.1

Portellsaurus was a styracosternan, a group of beaked, plant-eating dinosaurs that includes Iguanodon.1

Scientists think Portellsaurus was more closely related to the African dinosaur Ouranosaurus than to other Spanish dinosaurs of the same time.1

The fossil was found in a sandstone layer that was once a lagoon or washover environment near the coast.1

Portellsaurus was a medium-to-large dinosaur, estimated to be 6 to 8 metres (20 to 26 feet) long.1

KI-prent van Portellsaurus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Portellsaurus 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: Portellsaurus
Benoem deur: Santos-Cubedo et al. 20213
Groep: Plantvreters met snawels
Familie / klade: Hadrosauroidea3
Klassifikasie: Ornithischia > Ornithopoda > Iguanodontia3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 126 tot 121 miljoen jaar (Barremian)3
Rotsformasies: Mirambel3
Lande: Spanje3
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: Portellsaurus was named in 2021 by Santos-Cubedo and colleagues. The only fossil, a right lower jaw, was discovered in 1998 by Miquel Guardiola, Julián Yuste and Silvia Fabregat near Portell, Spain.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how Portellsaurus is related to other similar dinosaurs, because only its jaw bone has been found.1
