Datos curiosos

1

Nipponosaurus was the first dinosaur ever named from Japanese territory, though Sakhalin Island was later annexed by the Soviet Union.1

2

The only known skeleton is about 60% complete and belonged to a juvenile, not a full-grown adult.1

3

Scientists used bone histology (looking at thin slices of bone under a microscope) to confirm that the Nipponosaurus fossil was a youngster.1

4

Nipponosaurus lived near the coast, and its body was buried in marine sediments, meaning it probably died close to the shore.1

5

For many years, some scientists thought Nipponosaurus might be the same as other Asian duck-billed dinosaurs, but newer studies show it is a valid, distinct species.1

6

The fossil was discovered in 1934 by miners digging a hospital foundation on Sakhalin Island.1
