Prettige feite

1

Similicaudipteryx had a dagger-shaped pygostyle, a bone at the end of its tail that helped anchor long tail feathers.1

2

It was bigger than its close relative Caudipteryx, but still only about 1 meter long.1

3

The first fossil of Similicaudipteryx was found in the Jiufotang Formation, which is about 120 million years old.1

4

Its pubic bone was very long compared to its ilium, which is a unique feature among its relatives.1

5

Scientists think Similicaudipteryx had feathers even though the first fossil didn't show them, because of its pygostyle.1

6

Two other fossils that were thought to be Similicaudipteryx might actually belong to a different dinosaur called Incisivosaurus.1
