吃：肉肉食恐龍三疊紀晚期到侏羅紀早期

Lophostropheus was a meat-eating dinosaur that lived right at the end of the Triassic Period and the beginning of the Jurassic Period. It is one of the few dinosaurs that may have survived the big extinction that killed many other animals at that time.1

酷東西

趣味知識

Lophostropheus is known from only a partial skeleton, including a tooth, neck and back vertebrae, tail bones, and parts of the pelvis.1 2

Its neck vertebrae have special crests on the top and bottom, which is why it was named 'crest vertebrae'.1

This dinosaur was first thought to be a species of Halticosaurus, then Liliensternus, before getting its own name in 2007.1

Lophostropheus lived around 205 to 196 million years ago, right at the Triassic-Jurassic boundary.1

It is the only theropod dinosaur known from good remains at the Triassic-Jurassic boundary.1
