izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Minqaria was a dwarf dinosaur, only about 3.5 metres (11 feet) long, much smaller than its giant relatives like Edmontosaurus.2 1

Its skull bones were fused together, which tells scientists it was a fully grown adult, not a baby.2 1

Minqaria lived alongside other dinosaurs in Morocco, including the duck-billed Ajnabia and the meat-eating Chenanisaurus.2

The name Minqaria comes from the Arabic word for 'beak', and bata means 'duck', so its full name is 'beak duck'.1

Minqaria belonged to a group of duck-billed dinosaurs called lambeosaurines, which often had fancy crests on their heads.2 1

Fossils of Minqaria were found in marine rocks, meaning its body washed out to sea after death.2

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Minqaria
Inikwe igama ngu:: Longrich et al. 20244
Iqela: Imilomo-dada
Usapho / iclade: Hadrosauridae4
Ukuhlelwa: Ornithischia > Ornithopoda > Iguanodontia > Hadrosauridae4
Ubudala bamatye: 72 ukuya ku-66 izigidi zeminyaka (Maastrichtian)4
Izakhiwo zamatye: Couche III4
Amazwe: iMorocco4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: Minqaria was named in 2024 by paleontologist Nick Longrich and his team. The fossils were found by local miners in the phosphate mines of Sidi Chennane, Morocco.2 1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure why Minqaria and other African duck-billed dinosaurs were so small, but they think it might be because giant sauropods outcompeted them for food.2
