吃：植物有喙的草食恐龍侏羅紀中期到侏羅紀晚期

Gongbusaurus was a tiny, fast-running plant eater that lived in China during the Late Jurassic. It is known from just a few teeth and bones, so scientists are still figuring out what it really looked like.1

酷東西

趣味知識

Gongbusaurus was named after the famous Chinese poet Du Fu, who worked for the Gongbu (ministry of public works).1

The first fossils of Gongbusaurus were just two small teeth found behind an elementary school in China.1

Scientists are not sure if Gongbusaurus was an ornithopod or an ankylosaur, because its teeth look like those of both groups.1

A possible second species, Gongbusaurus wucaiwanensis, is known from a partial skeleton, but it might belong to a different dinosaur.1

Gongbusaurus lived about 160 to 157 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic period.1

If Gongbusaurus was like its relatives, it was a fast runner that walked on two legs.1
