Weewarrasaurus is known from a jawbone preserved in precious opal, giving it a colorful, gem-like appearance.1

It lived about 100 to 94 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period.4

The name Weewarrasaurus comes from the Wee Warra locality where its fossil was found.1

This dinosaur was a small ornithopod, about the size of a large dog.1

Weewarrasaurus shared its home with other ornithopods of different sizes, including a larger iguanodontian.1

It was a plant-eater. It had a beak and teeth for nibbling vegetation like ferns.3

?Why is Weewarrasaurus preserved in opal?

The fossil was preserved in opal because silica-rich solutions underground turned into the gemstone over millions of years. This happened in the Lightning Ridge area of Australia.3

?When did Weewarrasaurus live?

It lived during the Late Cretaceous, about 100 to 94 million years ago. The rocks where it was found are early Cenomanian in age.2 1
