名字的意思： “named after Robert Foster, who discovered the fossils; the species name dhimbangunmal means 'sheep yard' in local Australian languages”1

吃：植物有喙的草食恐龍白堊紀晚期

Fostoria was a plant-eating dinosaur that lived in Australia about 100 million years ago. It walked on two legs and had a beak for snipping leaves. Fossils of at least four Fostoria were found together in an opal mine.1 2

酷東西

趣味知識

Fostoria is known from at least four individuals found together in a bone bed, the first ornithopod-dominated bone bed discovered in Australia.2

All of the Fostoria fossils are preserved in opal, a precious gemstone.2

The first Fostoria fossil was discovered in 1984 by opal miner Bob Foster, who thought it was a horse hoof.1

Fostoria belongs to a group of dinosaurs called iguanodontians, which are relatives of the famous Iguanodon.1

The partial skull of Fostoria is the first dinosaur skull ever found in New South Wales, Australia.2

Scientists think Fostoria lived during the Cenomanian age, about 100 to 94 million years ago.3

給恐龍專家

學名: Fostoria
命名者: Bell et al. 20193
類群: 有喙的草食恐龍
科 / 演化支: Elasmaria3
分類: Ornithischia > Ornithopoda > Iguanodontia3
岩石的年代: 100 到 94 百萬年 (Cenomanian)3

發現: In 1984, opal miner Bob Foster found a vertebra from an ornithopod in Lightning Ridge, Australia. He showed his many fossil finds to paleontologists, who later excavated more bones. The dinosaur was named Fostoria dhimbangunmal in 2019 by Bell and colleagues.1 2
仍有爭議: Scientists are not sure exactly where Fostoria fits in the dinosaur family tree. Some studies place it with rhabdodontomorphs, while others group it with other Gondwanan iguanodontians.1 3
