Xingtianosaurus was a small, feathered dinosaur that lived in what is now China. It had long feathers on its arms and tail, like a bird. Scientists think it used its feathers for display or to help keep warm.2 1

Prettige feite

Xingtianosaurus is known from a nearly complete skeleton, but the skull is missing. That is why it was named after a headless god.1 2

Its arms were longer than its shoulder blades, which is unusual for early oviraptorosaurs.2

Xingtianosaurus had a very short first finger bone, less than 40% the length of the second finger bone.2

It lived about 125 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.3

Fossilized feather imprints were found near its forearm and hand bones, showing it had long wing-like feathers.2

Xingtianosaurus belongs to a group called Caudipteridae, which includes some of the earliest feathered dinosaurs.2 1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Xingtianosaurus
Benoem deur: Qiu et al. 20193
Groep: Snaakse dino's met vere
Familie / klade: Caudipterygidae3
Klassifikasie: Theropoda > Oviraptorosauria3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 126 tot 120 miljoen jaar (Barremian / Aptian)3
Rotsformasies: Yixian3
Lande: China3
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: Xingtianosaurus was named in 2019 by Rui Qiu and colleagues. The only skeleton was found in the Yixian Formation of Liaoning, China.2 1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how Xingtianosaurus is related to other oviraptorosaurs, because its skull is missing.2
