酷東西

趣味知識

Camelotia lived about 205 to 201 million years ago, during the Rhaetian stage of the Late Triassic.3

Its thigh bone (femur) is about 1 metre (3.3 feet) long, which helped scientists guess its size.1

Camelotia is named after Camelot, the legendary castle of King Arthur, because its fossils were found in Somerset, near where the stories take place.1

It was one of the largest sauropodomorphs from the Triassic, weighing about 3.8 tonnes (8,400 pounds).1

Scientists think Camelotia walked on all four legs, like later sauropods, because its relatives were becoming more quadrupedal.1

The first fossils of Camelotia were discovered in 1894 in a quarry in Wedmore, but they were not named until 1985.1

Some large dinosaur footprints found in Wales might have been made by Camelotia, but scientists are not sure.1

關於 Camelotia 最常被問的問題

?How big was Camelotia?

Camelotia was about 8 to 10 metres long and weighed around 3.8 tonnes. That is about as long as a school bus.1

?What did Camelotia eat?

Camelotia was a plant-eater. Its teeth were leaf-shaped and serrated, perfect for eating plants.1

?Did Camelotia walk on two legs or four?

Scientists think Camelotia walked on all four legs, like later sauropods. Its relatives were becoming more quadrupedal.1

?Where was Camelotia found?

Camelotia's fossils were found in a quarry in Wedmore, Somerset, England. That is near the legendary castle of King Arthur, Camelot.1

迷思破解王

迷思： Camelotia was a meat-eater because its teeth were found near its bones.

真相： The teeth found with Camelotia actually belong to a different dinosaur, a theropod called Newtonsaurus. Camelotia itself was a plant-eater.1
