趣味知識

The bones of Asylosaurus were discovered in 1834, but they were not recognized as a new dinosaur until 2007.1

Its bones were saved from destruction during World War II because they had been taken to Yale University in the USA.1

Asylosaurus had a different upper arm bone (humerus) compared to its relatives Thecodontosaurus and Pantydraco.1

Its hand had a reduced number of finger bones, with a formula of 2 to 3-4 to 2-?1.2

The name Asylosaurus means 'unharmed lizard', because its fossils escaped the bombing of Bristol in 1940.1

迷思破解王

迷思： Some people think Asylosaurus is the same as Thecodontosaurus.

真相： It was first thought to be Thecodontosaurus, but scientists now see it as its own genus because of differences in the upper arm bone.1
