Datos curiosos
Kryptops is one of the oldest known abelisaurids, a family of meat-eating dinosaurs that later included Carnotaurus.1
The outside of its upper jaw bone had deep grooves and pits, which suggests it was covered with a tight, horny covering like keratin.1
Kryptops lived about 112 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period.1
Only one specimen of Kryptops has been found, and it includes an upper jaw bone, some back bones, ribs, and hip bones.1
Some bones that were first thought to belong to Kryptops later turned out to be from a different dinosaur, an allosauroid.1
