酷東西

趣味知識

Tsagantegia is known only from a single skull, about 38 cm long. No other bones have been found.1

The skull of Tsagantegia is longer than it is wide, unlike many other ankylosaurs.1

The bony plates on its head were flat and not arranged in a mosaic pattern like in other ankylosaurs.1

Tsagantegia lived about 92 to 86 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1

It shared its habitat with the theropod Achillobator and the long-necked sauropod Erketu.1

Tsagantegia had a U-shaped beak, which may have helped it eat different plants than its relative Talarurus.1
