Archaeocursor was a tiny, speedy plant-eater that lived in what is now China. It was one of the earliest beaked dinosaurs in Asia, and it was only about as long as a big dog!1

1

Archaeocursor is known from just one fossil: a nearly complete left thigh bone (femur) that is 93 millimetres long.1

2

It lived during the Early Jurassic period, about 199 to 184 million years ago, in the Sinemurian to Pliensbachian stages.3

3

Scientists think Archaeocursor was a young adult when it died, because of the growth rings in its thigh bone.1

4

This dinosaur is the oldest ornithischian (beaked plant-eater) ever found in Asia.1

5

Archaeocursor was about the same size as Eocursor, another early ornithischian from South Africa.1

6

Its name means 'ancient runner from Asia', because it was built for speed with long legs.1

Archaeocursor was named in 2025 by a team of scientists including X. Yao, Q. Zhao, T. Ren, G. Wei, and X. Xu. The single fossil was found near a subway station in Chongqing, China.31

Scientists are not sure exactly how Archaeocursor is related to other early ornithischians. The family tree shows it as the earliest-diverging ornithischian in Asia, but this is not strongly supported.1
