Spinops was a medium-sized horned dinosaur that lived in what is now Alberta, Canada. It had a fancy frill on its head with hooks and long spikes that made it look very different from its relatives.2 1

Prettige feite

Spinops had a pair of forward-curving hooks on the middle of its frill, and just next to them were extremely long, backward-pointing spikes.1

The fossils of Spinops were first collected in 1916 by Charles H. Sternberg and his son Levi, but they sat in a museum in London for almost 100 years before scientists studied them.2 1

Spinops was named in 2011, making it a relatively new dinosaur even though its bones were found long ago.2 4

Scientists think Spinops lived about 76.5 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.2

Spinops is a centrosaurine ceratopsian, which means it is closely related to dinosaurs like Centrosaurus and Styracosaurus.2 1

The exact spot where Spinops was found has been lost, and scientists have not been able to relocate the quarry.2 1

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

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Spinops

?How big was Spinops?

Spinops was about 4.5 metres long and weighed around 1.3 metric tons. That is roughly the size of a small car.2 3

Spinops was a plant-eater. It used its beak to clip leaves and other plants.3

?When did Spinops live?

Spinops lived about 76 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period. That's long before humans existed.3 2

?Why did Spinops have spikes on its frill?

Scientists think the spikes and hooks on Spinops's frill were for showing off, maybe to attract mates or scare rivals. The exact reason is not known for sure.1
