酷東西

趣味知識

Koreanosaurus was a type of orodromine dinosaur, a group that includes other small, fast-running herbivores.1

Scientists think Koreanosaurus may have been a burrowing dinosaur because small burrows were found in the same rocks.1

Unlike many of its relatives, Koreanosaurus probably walked on all four legs.1

The first fossils of Koreanosaurus were discovered in 2003 at the Bibong-ri dinosaur egg site in South Korea.1

Koreanosaurus lived during the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous, about 81 million years ago.1

Only one species of Koreanosaurus is known: Koreanosaurus boseongensis, named after the Boseong area where it was found.1
