Sinankylosaurus
Sinankylosaurus was an armoured dinosaur that lived in China during the Late Cretaceous. It is known from a single hip bone, so scientists are still figuring out exactly what it looked like. Some scientists think it might not even be an ankylosaur!1

Datos curiosos
Sinankylosaurus is known from just one bone, a right ilium, which is part of the hip.1
The bone was found near Zangjiazhuang Village in Zhucheng, China.1
It lived about 77 to 73 million years ago, during the Campanian age.1
The name combines 'Sinae' for China and 'Ankylosaurus', a famous armoured dinosaur.1
Some scientists later said the hip bone does not have features that clearly belong to ankylosaurs, so they think it might be a different kind of dinosaur.1
Other dinosaurs found in the same area include the giant duck-billed Shantungosaurus and the tyrannosaur Zhuchengtyrannus.1
As preguntas máis frecuentes sobre Sinankylosaurus
?Is Sinankylosaurus a real dinosaur?
Yes, Sinankylosaurus is a real dinosaur, but scientists are not sure exactly what kind. It was named in 2020 from a single hip bone, and some later scientists think it might not be an ankylosaur.1
?How big was Sinankylosaurus?
Nobody knows for sure, because only one hip bone has been found. Without more fossils, scientists cannot estimate its size.1
?What did Sinankylosaurus eat?
If it was an ankylosaur, it would have been a plant-eater. The Paleobiology Database lists it as a ground-dwelling herbivore.2
?When did Sinankylosaurus live?
Sinankylosaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 77 to 73 million years ago.1
Cazamitos
Mito: Sinankylosaurus was definitely an armoured dinosaur like Ankylosaurus.
Verdade: Scientists are not sure. Some later studies found no clear ankylosaur features in its hip bone, so they think it might not be an ankylosaur at all.1
