酷東西

趣味知識

Diuqin belongs to a group called unenlagiines, which were bird-like raptors with long arms and feathers.1

Its name comes from the Mapuche language and means 'bird of prey'.1

The only known Diuqin fossil was found on a narrow strip of land between two lakes in Argentina.1

Diuqin lived during the Santonian age, about 85 million years ago, filling a 15-million-year gap in the fossil record of its group.1

The humerus bone of Diuqin has small round holes that scientists think were bite marks from a crocodile, mammal, or another dinosaur.1

Diuqin is known from only a few bones: parts of the backbone, a nearly complete left upper arm bone, and a few fragments.1
