酷東西

趣味知識

Lufengosaurus was the first complete dinosaur skeleton ever mounted in China, and a postage stamp was made to celebrate it in 1958.1

In 2015, scientists found preserved collagen protein in a Lufengosaurus fossil, which was over 100 million years older than any previously known fossil protein.1

Lufengosaurus had a long neck and short arms, and it probably walked on two legs.1

Its skull was about 25 centimetres (10 inches) long, and it had bony bumps behind its nostrils and on its cheeks.1

Lufengosaurus lived during the Early Jurassic period, about 195 to 190 million years ago.1

Some scientists think Lufengosaurus may have taken care of its babies, because the leg bones of its embryos look like those of birds that need feeding.1

關於 Lufengosaurus 最常被問的問題

?How big was Lufengosaurus?

About 6 metres (20 ft) long, but larger specimens may have reached 9 metres (30 ft) and weighed up to 2.3 tonnes (2.5 short tons).1

?What did Lufengosaurus eat?

It was mostly a plant-eater, with serrated teeth good for eating leaves. Some scientists think it might have eaten meat sometimes too.1

?When did Lufengosaurus live?

It lived during the Early Jurassic period, about 195 to 190 million years ago.1

?Did Lufengosaurus have feathers?

The sources do not mention feathers, so we do not know for sure. It probably had scales like other early sauropodomorphs.1

科 / 演化支: Massospondylidae2
分類: Sauropodomorpha2
岩石的年代: 201 到 168 百萬年 (Hettangian / Bajocian)2
岩層: Lufeng, Ziliujing2

化石紀錄: The Paleobiology Database 收錄 28 筆2
發現: Lufengosaurus was named by Chinese paleontologist C. C. Young in 1940, based on fossils found near Lufeng in Yunnan, China.1
仍有爭議: Scientists are not sure if Lufengosaurus was sometimes omnivorous, because it had sharp teeth and claws like meat-eaters, but also ate plants.1
