Sinankylosaurus

名字的意思： “Chinese fused lizard”1

吃：植物甲龍類白堊紀晚期

Sinankylosaurus was an armoured dinosaur that lived in China during the Late Cretaceous. It is known from a single hip bone, so scientists are still figuring out exactly what it looked like. Some scientists think it might not even be an ankylosaur!1

酷東西

趣味知識

Sinankylosaurus is known from just one bone, a right ilium, which is part of the hip.1

The bone was found near Zangjiazhuang Village in Zhucheng, China.1

It lived about 77 to 73 million years ago, during the Campanian age.1

The name combines 'Sinae' for China and 'Ankylosaurus', a famous armoured dinosaur.1

Some scientists later said the hip bone does not have features that clearly belong to ankylosaurs, so they think it might be a different kind of dinosaur.1

Other dinosaurs found in the same area include the giant duck-billed Shantungosaurus and the tyrannosaur Zhuchengtyrannus.1

關於 Sinankylosaurus 最常被問的問題

?Is Sinankylosaurus a real dinosaur?

Yes, Sinankylosaurus is a real dinosaur, but scientists are not sure exactly what kind. It was named in 2020 from a single hip bone, and some later scientists think it might not be an ankylosaur.1

?How big was Sinankylosaurus?

Nobody knows for sure, because only one hip bone has been found. Without more fossils, scientists cannot estimate its size.1

?What did Sinankylosaurus eat?

If it was an ankylosaur, it would have been a plant-eater. The Paleobiology Database lists it as a ground-dwelling herbivore.2

?When did Sinankylosaurus live?

Sinankylosaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 77 to 73 million years ago.1

迷思破解王

迷思： Sinankylosaurus was definitely an armoured dinosaur like Ankylosaurus.

真相： Scientists are not sure. Some later studies found no clear ankylosaur features in its hip bone, so they think it might not be an ankylosaur at all.1

發現: The bone was collected during large excavations in Shandong Province, China, starting in the 1960s. In 2020, Kebai Wang and colleagues named it Sinankylosaurus zhuchengensis.1
仍有爭議: Scientists still debate whether Sinankylosaurus was really an ankylosaur, because the only known bone does not show clear features of that group.1
