Prettige feite

Silvisaurus had teeth at the front of its jaw, which is unusual because most later nodosaurs had a toothless beak.1

Its skull was about 33 centimeters (13 inches) long and 25 centimeters (9.8 inches) wide.1

It had large air passages in its head, which scientists think might have been used for loud calls to communicate.1

The only known fossil was found at the bottom of a dry riverbed, and the bones were weathered and trampled by cattle before they were collected.1

Fossil leaves found in the same rock layer show that Silvisaurus lived in a warm, temperate forest.2

Silvisaurus was named the official state land fossil of Kansas in 2023.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Silvisaurus

?How big was Silvisaurus?

Silvisaurus was about 4 metres (13 feet) long. That is roughly the length of a small car.1 5

?What did Silvisaurus eat?

Silvisaurus was a plant-eater (herbivore). It ate plants like the ferns and leaves that grew in its warm forest home.5 2

?Did Silvisaurus have armor?

Yes, Silvisaurus had bony armor plates and spikes on its body, including possible spikes on its shoulders and tail. It was a nodosaur, a type of armored dinosaur.1 2

?Where was Silvisaurus found?

The only known Silvisaurus fossil was found in Ottawa County, Kansas, USA. It was discovered in a dry riverbed in the Dakota Formation.1 2

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Silvisaurus
Benoem deur: Eaton 19606
Groep: Gepantserde dino's
Familie / klade: Nodosauridae6
Klassifikasie: Ornithischia > Ankylosauria > Nodosauridae > Thyreophora6
Ouderdom van die rotse: 106 tot 100 miljoen jaar (Albian)6
Rotsformasies: Dakota6
Lande: VSA6
Fossielrekords: 2 in The Paleobiology Database6
Ontdekking: Rancher Warren W. Condray found the fossil in the 1950s in Kansas. He told Senator Frank Carlson, who contacted the University of Kansas, and in 1960 Theodore H. Eaton Jr. named it Silvisaurus condrayi.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are still debating exactly how Silvisaurus is related to other nodosaurs, and whether it had spikes on its shoulders and tail.1
