Naam beteken: “strange hunter”1

Xenovenator was a small, bird-like dinosaur that lived in North America near the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. It had a thick, bony dome on its skull, which it may have used to head-butt rivals like some sheep do today.1

Prettige feite

Xenovenator is a troodontid, a group of smart, bird-like dinosaurs that were close relatives of birds.1

The skull roof of Xenovenator was unusually thick and bumpy, similar to the dome of a pachycephalosaur.1

Scientists think Xenovenator may have head-butted other members of its species, a behavior never before seen in this group of dinosaurs.1

The dome on the skull may have grown larger and more fused as the animal got older.1

Xenovenator lived about 74 to 72 million years ago, during the late Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Xenovenator
Benoem deur: Rivera-Sylva et al. 20264
Groep: Raptors
Familie / klade: Troodontidae4
Klassifikasie: Theropoda > Troodontidae4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 84 tot 72 miljoen jaar (Campanian)4
Rotsformasies: Kirtland, Cerro del Pueblo4
Lande: VSA, Meksiko4
Fossielrekords: 5 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: Xenovenator was named in 2026 by Héctor Rivera-Sylva and colleagues based on skull bones found in the Cerro del Pueblo Formation of Mexico. The first bones were collected in 2000 by Martha Aguillón-Martinez.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure whether the dome was present only in adults or only in one sex, because some specimens lack the dome.1
