酷東西

趣味知識

Pandoravenator is the first theropod dinosaur ever found in the Late Jurassic rocks of the Cañadón Calcáreo Formation in Argentina.1

Its ankle bones were special: the astragalus had two small bumps and a low, sideways-leaning process. This shape is halfway between older theropods and more advanced ones.2

Scientists think the way its ankle bones grew is similar to how living birds develop their ankle bones, which helps us understand bird evolution.1

The fossils include parts of the backbone and legs, but the skull has not been found yet.2

Pandoravenator lived alongside sauropods, ancient crocodiles, and ancient fishes in the same formation.1

發現: Pandoravenator was discovered and named in 2017 by paleontologists Oliver Rauhut and Diego Pol. They described it from a partial skeleton found at the Caja de Pandora site in Argentina.1 2
仍有爭議: Scientists are not sure exactly where Pandoravenator fits among the early meat-eating dinosaurs, because the fossils are incomplete and different analyses give different results.2
