Yayitya: InyamaIidayinaso ezitya inyamaiJurassic yamva

Metriacanthosaurus was a meat-eating dinosaur that lived in England about 160 million years ago. It had moderately tall spines on its backbone, not as high as some other dinosaurs. Scientists only know it from a few bones, so they guess what it looked like based on its relatives.2 1

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Metriacanthosaurus is the only metriacanthosaurid dinosaur named from outside of Asia. All its close relatives are from Asia.2

Its fossils were found in marine sediments. During the Late Jurassic, Europe was a group of islands surrounded by shallow seas.2

The name Metriacanthosaurus means 'moderately-spined lizard' because its backbone spines are taller than Allosaurus but shorter than Acrocanthosaurus.2

The only known specimen includes an incomplete hip, a leg bone, and part of a backbone. No skull has been found.2 1

Metriacanthosaurus was originally named as a species of Megalosaurus in 1923. It was given its own genus in 1964 by Alick Walker.2

It lived about 160 million years ago during the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic. Other dinosaurs from the same time include the sauropod Cetiosauriscus and the stegosaur Lexovisaurus.2

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Metriacanthosaurus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Metriacanthosaurus esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Metriacanthosaurus

?How big was Metriacanthosaurus?

It was about 8 meters long and weighed around 1 tonne.2 1

?What did Metriacanthosaurus eat?

It was a carnivore, meaning it ate meat.1 2

?When did Metriacanthosaurus live?

It lived during the Late Jurassic period, about 160 to 154 million years ago.1 2

?Where was Metriacanthosaurus found?

Its fossils were found in England, near Weymouth, Dorset.2 1

?Why is it called Metriacanthosaurus?

The name means 'moderately-spined lizard' because its backbone spines are taller than Allosaurus but shorter than Acrocanthosaurus.2 1

?Did Metriacanthosaurus have a skull?

No skull has been found. The only known fossils are an incomplete hip, a leg bone, and part of a backbone.2 1

?Was Metriacanthosaurus related to Allosaurus?

It was a theropod like Allosaurus, but it belongs to a different family called Metriacanthosauridae.2 1

?How fast could Metriacanthosaurus run?

Scientists don't know for sure, but as a medium-sized theropod it was probably a fast runner.2

Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: The fossils were discovered in 1871 by W. Parker at Jordan's Cliff, near Weymouth, England. Geologist John Phillips briefly mentioned them that same year. In 1923, Friedrich von Huene named it Megalosaurus parkeri, and in 1964 Alick Walker gave it the new genus Metriacanthosaurus.2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly what Metriacanthosaurus looked like because only a partial skeleton has been found. Reconstructions are guesswork based on similar dinosaurs.1
