Prettige feite

Procompsognathus means 'before elegant jaw' because it lived earlier than a similar dinosaur called Compsognathus.1

Its shin bone was about 20 percent longer than its thigh bone, which helped it run very fast.1

The only fossil of Procompsognathus is badly crushed and was found in three sandstone blocks.1 2

Some scientists once thought the skull belonged to a crocodile relative, but later studies showed it was a true dinosaur.1

Procompsognathus lived during the Late Triassic period, about 210 million years ago.1 2

It shared its home with other early dinosaurs like Plateosaurus and the meat-eating Halticosaurus.1

julle het gevra

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Procompsognathus

?How big was Procompsognathus?

Procompsognathus was about 1 meter (3.3 feet) long and weighed around 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds).1 2

?What did Procompsognathus eat?

It was a carnivore that ate small animals like insects, lizards, and other tiny prey.1 3

?When did Procompsognathus live?

It lived during the Late Triassic period, about 221 to 210 million years ago.2 1

?Where was Procompsognathus found?

Its fossils were found in Germany, near Pfaffenhofen in the state of Württemberg.1 2

?How fast could Procompsognathus run?

It was a very fast runner. Its shin bone was 20% longer than its thigh bone, which is a sign of a good runner.1

?Is Procompsognathus a dinosaur?

Yes, it is a small theropod dinosaur, though some scientists once thought parts of its skull came from a crocodile relative.1 2

?Why is it called Procompsognathus?

Its name means 'before elegant jaw' because it lived earlier than a similar dinosaur called Compsognathus, which means 'elegant jaw'.1 2

?Did Procompsognathus have venom?

No, there is no evidence it had venom. The idea of a venomous bite comes from the Jurassic Park books, not real science.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Procompsognathus was a direct ancestor of Compsognathus.

Waarheid: The name means 'before Compsognathus', but scientists do not think it was a direct ancestor. They are separate branches of the dinosaur family tree.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Procompsognathus
Benoem deur: Fraas 19134
Groep: Vleisvretende dino's
Familie / klade: Coelophysidae4
