酷東西

趣味知識

Diluvicursor's name means 'flood runner' because its body was found in a deep, fast-moving river deposit.1

The only known skeleton is a juvenile that was about 1.2 metres long, about the size of a wild turkey.1

An adult Diluvicursor probably grew to at least 2.3 metres long, similar in size to a rhea.1

Its tail was short but very strong, with wide bones that suggest powerful muscles for running.2

Diluvicursor lived about 113 to 112 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.1

The fossil was found in a log-filled scour in an ancient river, possibly caught on a tree stump.1

Scientists think Diluvicursor was closely related to other small ornithopods from South America and Antarctica.2

發現: The fossils were discovered in 2005 at a beach near Cape Otway, Victoria, Australia. Scientists named it Diluvicursor pickeringi in 2018, honoring David A. Pickering.1
仍有爭議: Scientists are not sure if Diluvicursor is the same as other small ornithopods from the same area, like Atlascopcosaurus or Leaellynasaura, because their fossils don't overlap.1
