酷東西

趣味知識

Barilium was first thought to be a species of Iguanodon, called Iguanodon dawsoni, before scientists gave it its own name in 2010.1

Its fossils come from rocks that are between about 137 and 121 million years old, from the Early Cretaceous period.3

Barilium had a very large and strong hip bone (ilium), which is why it was named 'heavy hip'.1

This dinosaur is known from only a few fossils, including parts of the spine, hips, and legs.3

Some scientists think Barilium might be the same as other dinosaurs named Kukufeldia, Sellacoxa, and Torilion, but others disagree.3

Barilium lived alongside other dinosaurs like Hypselospinus and Mantellisaurus in ancient England.1

發現: The first fossils of Barilium were found in the 1800s and named Iguanodon dawsoni by Richard Lydekker in 1888. In 2010, David B. Norman gave it the new name Barilium after studying the bones more closely.1
仍有爭議: Scientists are not sure if Barilium is exactly the same as other dinosaurs named Kukufeldia, Sellacoxa, and Torilion, or if they are different species.3
