Summary
[edit]
| Description |
A featherweight fern-mower, with Giro-helmet styling, this offbeat dino skull houses over 500 needle shaped teeth, jammed together in a row (with 50 columns of replacement teeth). No other known animal has a row of teeth quite like it, extending wider than the skull? and it lacks gnashing molars. The body is the size of an elephant, but the pneumatic construction of the skull and skeleton makes it quite a delicate fossil find. Some of the vertebrae are paper thin, part of a backbone that is more air than bone. Paul Sereno gave an exciting docent?s tour of some of his recent finds at the O'Reilly foo camp at Google. This 110 million-year-old Nigersaurus Taqueti is a distant cousin of Diplodocus, but shared African waterways with SuperCroc. I thought it looked like Jar Jar Binks? maybe with googly Golem eyes. |
