Ebyewuunyisa
Echinodon is one of the smallest and youngest heterodontosaurid dinosaurs known, living about 145 million years ago.1
Its name means 'prickly tooth' because of its sharp, pointed teeth, which were different from the flat teeth of many other plant-eaters.1
Echinodon lived alongside other dinosaurs like Owenodon and Nuthetes, as well as many small mammals, in a warm, lagoonal environment.1
The first Echinodon fossils were jaw bones found by collector Samuel Beckles, and they were originally thought to belong to a lizard.1
Echinodon had a beak made of keratin, like modern birds, which it used to crop plants before chewing them with its teeth.1
Scientists once thought Echinodon might be a stegosaur or a lizard, but now they know it is a heterodontosaurid dinosaur.1

?How big was Echinodon?
Echinodon was very small. Its skull was only about 62 millimetres (2.4 inches) long, making it one of the smallest non-avian dinosaurs.12
?What did Echinodon eat?
Echinodon was a plant-eater. It used its beak to crop plants and its sharp teeth to chew them, though some scientists once thought it might have eaten insects too.12
