酷東西

趣味知識

Berberosaurus lived during the Early Jurassic, about 183 to 174 million years ago.1

Its fossils were found in a river floodplain that had wet and dry seasons, with ferns, cycads and conifers.1

The only known skeleton is from a subadult, so adults might have been a bit bigger.1

Berberosaurus had a neck vertebra with air spaces inside, making it lightweight.1

It lived alongside the sauropod Tazoudasaurus and a large unknown theropod.1

Some scientists think Berberosaurus is a basal ceratosaur, while others place it in different groups like dilophosaurids.1
