Prettige feite

1

Yinlong is the oldest known ceratopsian dinosaur, living about 158 million years ago.12

2

It had very short arms compared to its long legs, about 40% as long, so it walked on two feet.2

3

Yinlong's name comes from the movie 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', which was filmed near where its fossils were found.21

4

Seven smooth stones, called gastroliths, were found in its ribcage. They helped grind tough plants inside its belly.2

5

Its skull was deep and wide, and the back part was very broad, but it had no horns or bony frill like later relatives.21

6

Yinlong's teeth had a vertical wear facet with a little shelf, which is a special feature not seen in many other dinosaurs.2

Yinlong was named in 2006 by Xu Xing and colleagues, based on a nearly complete skeleton discovered in 2004 in the Shishugou Formation of Xinjiang, China.12
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are not sure exactly how Yinlong is related to other early horned dinosaurs, because it has features that look like both later ceratopsians and more primitive ornithischians.2
