Datos curiosos
Foskeia had a beak made of fused premaxillae bones, which is very unusual for an ornithopod dinosaur.1
Its front teeth stuck out forward (procumbent) and the crowns extended beyond the edge of the beak.1
The first tooth in its lower jaw was shaped like a thin thread (filiform), which is a unique feature.1
Foskeia had a very high jaw joint, which helped it bite with extra force.1
Scientists used CT scans to see inside the skull fossils and build a 3D model of the head.1
Foskeia lived about 125 to 119 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.2
This dinosaur is the earliest known member of a group called Rhabdodontia, which lived only in Europe.1

Yes, adults were bipedal. Juveniles started out walking on all fours, but switched to two legs early in life.3
?Why did Foskeia have a beak?
Foskeia had a beak made of fused premaxillae bones, which is unusual for an ornithopod. It likely used it to bite off plant material.3

- Foskeia was named in 2026 by a team of scientists led by Dieudonné, based on fossils found at the Vegagete site in Burgos, Spain. The remains were first thought to belong to a different dinosaur, but new skull bones showed it was a new species.12
- Aínda en debate
- Scientists are not sure exactly how big Foskeia grew, because only a few bones have been found so far.1
