Zephyrosaurus

Naam beteken: “west wind lizard”1
Het geëet: PlantePlantvreters met snawelsVroeë Kryt

Zephyrosaurus was a tiny, speedy plant-eater that lived in North America during the Early Cretaceous. It had a steep face and knobby cheeks, and may have dug burrows to hide from predators like Deinonychus.21

Prettige feite

1

Zephyrosaurus had a raised knob on its upper jaw and a larger knob on its cheekbone.2

2

Some skull bones may have allowed movement within the skull, called cranial kinesis.2

3

It was a small, swift, bipedal herbivore, about 1.8 metres (6 feet) long.12

4

Like its relatives Orodromeus and Oryctodromeus, Zephyrosaurus may have burrowed.2

5

Fossil tracks from Maryland and Virginia, named Hypsiloichnus marylandicus, are thought to have been made by an animal like Zephyrosaurus.2

6

The first fossils were found by Charles R. Schaff in the Cloverly Formation of Montana.2

julle het gevra

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Zephyrosaurus

?How big was Zephyrosaurus?

About 1.8 metres (6 feet) long. That is roughly the length of a small adult human.1

?What did Zephyrosaurus eat?

It was a herbivore, meaning it ate plants. It had beak teeth to help chew tough plant material.13

?Did Zephyrosaurus have feathers?

The sources do not mention feathers. Since it is an ornithischian dinosaur, it likely did not have feathers like some theropods did.3

?Could Zephyrosaurus burrow?

Maybe. Like its relatives Orodromeus and Oryctodromeus, Zephyrosaurus may have dug burrows to hide from predators.3

?When did Zephyrosaurus live?

It lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 120 to 110 million years ago.1

?Where was Zephyrosaurus found?

Its fossils were discovered in the Cloverly Formation of Carbon County, Montana, USA. Tracks from Maryland and Virginia may also belong to a similar animal.31

Ontdekking
Hans-Dieter Sues named Zephyrosaurus in 1980 based on a partial skull and bones found by Charles R. Schaff in Montana, USA.21
Steeds omstrede
Scientists still debate exactly how Zephyrosaurus is related to other small ornithischians, because the original fossils are so fragmentary.2
