Prettige feite

Velocipes is known from only one fossil: the top part of a leg bone called a fibula, which is 16.4 cm long.1

The bone was first discovered around 1884 by Georg Gürich, but it was not named until 1932 by Friedrich von Huene.1

The original fossil was damaged during World War II and was thought to be lost, but it was rediscovered in 2012.1

Scientists once thought Velocipes might not be a dinosaur at all, but newer studies confirm it was a theropod, a group of meat-eating dinosaurs.1

Velocipes lived alongside other Triassic animals like the aetosaur Kocurypelta and an early turtle called Proterochersis.1

The full fibula of Velocipes was probably about 30 to 35 cm long, which helps scientists guess its size.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Velocipes

?How big was Velocipes?

Velocipes may have reached up to 3 metres long and weighed around 50 kilograms, but this is only a guess because only one leg bone is known.1

?What did Velocipes eat?

Velocipes was a meat-eating dinosaur, so it likely hunted smaller animals. Its name means 'quick foot', and it was probably a fast runner.1

?When did Velocipes live?

Velocipes lived during the Late Triassic period, about 227 to 205 million years ago, in what is now southern Poland.1

?Is Velocipes a dinosaur?

Yes, Velocipes is a dinosaur. Scientists once thought it might not be, but newer studies confirm it was a theropod, a group of meat-eating dinosaurs.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Velocipes is a nomen dubium (doubtful name) and not a real dinosaur.

Waarheid: Some scientists once considered Velocipes a doubtful name because the fossil is so incomplete, but more recent research in 2017 confirmed it is a valid theropod dinosaur.1
