Fatgs divertents

1

Hypsirophus is known only from a few back bones, tail bones, and a rib fragment. That makes it one of the most incomplete stegosaurs.1

2

The name Hypsirophus means 'high roof' because the bones in its back were very tall.1

3

It was discovered during the 'Bone Wars', a fierce fossil-hunting rivalry between two scientists, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh.1

4

Cope, who named Hypsirophus, first thought it was a meat-eating dinosaur like Allosaurus. Later scientists realized it was a plant-eating stegosaur.1

5

Some scientists think Hypsirophus might be a valid dinosaur, while others consider it a nomen dubium (a doubtful name).1

?How big was Hypsirophus?

Nobody knows for sure, because only a few bones have been found. Its back bones were very tall, one being 47 centimetres (about 1.5 feet) high, but the full size is unknown.4

?What did Hypsirophus eat?

It was a plant-eater. Like other stegosaurs, it munched on plants with its tiny teeth.4

?Is Hypsirophus a valid dinosaur?

Some scientists think Hypsirophus is a valid, distinct stegosaur, while others consider it a nomen dubium (a doubtful name) or a synonym of Stegosaurus.4

?Where was Hypsirophus found?

Its fossils were discovered in Colorado, USA, at a site called Cope's Quarry 3 near Garden Park, in rocks of the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation.4

Scientists still debate whether Hypsirophus is a valid genus or just a synonym of Stegosaurus.1
