Xiaosaurus was a tiny, speedy dinosaur that lived in what is now China about 168 million years ago. It was a plant-eater that ran on its two back legs and was only about as long as a big skateboard.1 3

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Xiaosaurus means 'dawn lizard' because it lived during the Middle Jurassic, a time when dinosaurs were just starting to become common.1

Its thigh bone was only 11 centimeters (4.3 inches) long, showing it was a very small dinosaur.1

Scientists think Xiaosaurus might be a missing link between earlier plant-eaters like Lesothosaurus and later ones like Hypsilophodon.1 2

Only two partial skeletons of Xiaosaurus have been found, and they were damaged during digging.1 2

Xiaosaurus had a special feature: its upper arm bone (humerus) was straight when seen from the front, which is rare among early ornithischians.1

The fossils were discovered near Dashanpu in Sichuan, China, in 1979 and 1980.1 2

ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Xiaosaurus

?How big was Xiaosaurus?

About 1 metre (3.3 ft) long, which is about as long as a big skateboard. Its thigh bone was only 11 centimetres (4.3 in) long.1

It was a herbivore, meaning it ate plants. It had leaf-shaped teeth with small bumps on the edges for chewing plants.1 3

?When did Xiaosaurus live?

It lived during the Middle Jurassic, about 170 to 163 million years ago. That is why its name means 'dawn lizard', it was an early dinosaur.1

?Is Xiaosaurus a dinosaur?

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Xiaosaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Dong and Tang 19833
Iqela: Izitya-zityalo ezinemilomo
Usapho / iclade: Fabrosauridae3
Ukuhlelwa: Ornithischia3
Ubudala bamatye: 171 ukuya ku-155 izigidi zeminyaka (Bajocian / Oxfordian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Shaximiao3
Amazwe: iTshayina3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Chinese paleontologists Dong Zhiming and Tang Zilu named Xiaosaurus in 1983 based on two partial skeletons found near Dashanpu, Sichuan.1 3
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly where Xiaosaurus belongs in the dinosaur family tree because its fossils are so incomplete. Some think it might be a nomen dubium (doubtful name).1
