Camptosaurus
Camptosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in
Europe and North America
during the late Jurassic period,
about 155 to 145 million years ago.
Many
fossils have been found,
which suggests Camptosaurus was a common dinosaur in its time.
Camptosaurus legs were long and powerful, with 3 hoofed toes. Its arms
were much shorter, but also had hoof-like nails.
So while Camptosaurus could walk on two feet, it probably mostly walked on all
fours, and ate low lying vegetation.
Camptosaurus was about 20 feet (6.1 meters) long.
Camptosaurus was first described in 1879 by
Othniel C. Marsh.
Originally,
Othniel C. Marsh
named the creature "Camptonotus", but he changed the name to
Camptosaurus in 1885 because the original name was already being used for
a cricket. Both variants of the name mean "bent lizard", which
was chosen because the animal would have had to have its back arched whenever
standing on all fours.

Camptosaurus Facts
Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Camptosaurus:
- Camptosaurus was a genus of dinosaur.
- "Camptosaurus" means "bent lizard" (because its body must have been arched when standing on all fours). The name was chosen by Othniel C. Marsh in 1885.
- Camptosaurus was a member of the Ornithischia ("bird-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Camptosaurus was not closely related to birds, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones.
- Camptosaurus lived between about 155 million years ago and 145 million years ago, during the Jurassic period.
- Camptosaurus lived in North America and Europe.
- Camptosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater).
- Camptosaurus is thought to have mostly eaten low lying vegetation.
- Camptosaurus was about 20 feet (6.1 meters) long.

Extracto: Iguanodon (gr. "diente de iguana") es un género de dinosaurios ornitópodos iguanodóntidos, que vivieron a principios período Cretácico, hace aproximadamente 130 a 120 millones de años (entre el Berriasiano y el Aptiano), en lo que hoy es Europa. Iguanodon está a medio camino entre los primitivos de los hipsilofodóntidos, bípedos y rápidos, y la culminación de los ornitópodos en los dinosaurios de pico de pato. Se han descrito muchas especies de Iguanodon, datadas desde el Kimeridgiano, a finales del Jurásico, al Cenomaniano del Cretácico Superior en Asia, Europa, y Norteamérica. Sin embargo, desde la primera década del siglo XXI se tiende a reconocer una única especie, Iguanodon bernissartensis, que vivió en el Cretácico Inferior de Europa. La principal característica de Iguanodon son sus grandes garras en los pulgares, que fueron utilizados posiblemente para defenderse de los depredadores. Descubierto en 1822 y descrito tres años más tarde por el geólogo inglés Gideon Mantell, Iguanodon fue el segundo dinosaurio nombrado formalmente, después de Megalosaurus. Junto con Megalosaurus y Hylaeosaurus, es uno de los tres géneros usados originalmente para definir Dinosauria. Fue bautizado por ... |

Forrás: Wikipedia. Oldalak: 32. Fejezetek: Iguanodontiák, Thescelosaurus, Hypsilophodontidae, Ornithopoda, Parksosaurus, Altirhinus, Camptosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Dryosaurus, Zephyrosaurus, Muttaburrasaurus, Qantassaurus, Leaellynasaura, Tenontosaurus, Kangnasaurus, Anabisetia, Iguanodontia, Hadrosauroidea, Mantellisaurus, Rhabdodon, Orodromeus, Dollodon, Probactrosaurus, Lesothosaurus, Fukuisaurus. Idézet: Az Iguanodon (nevének jelentése: 'leguán fogú') az ornithopodák alrendágába tartozó dinoszaurusznem, amely nagyjából az első gyors mozgású, két lábon járó hypsilophodontidák és a kacsacsőrű dinoszauruszok elterjedése (az ornithopodák aranykora) közti időszakban élt. Számos faját azonosították, melyek a késő jura kor kimmeridge-i korszakától a késő kréta kor cenomani korszakáig éltek Laurázsia (a mai Ázsia, Európa és Észak-Amerika) területén. A 2000-es évek első évtizedében azonban megállapították, hogy mindössze egyetlen megfelelően igazolt faja van: az I. bernissartensis, ami a kora kréta kor barremi és kora apti korszakában élt Európában, mintegy 130-120 millió évvel ezelőtt. Az Iguanodon egy nagyméretű, testes növényevő volt, melynek jellegzetessége a nagy, hegyes hüvelykujj-tüske, amit feltehetően a ragadozók elleni védekezésre és az élelem összegyűjtésére használt. Az Iguanodont az angol geológus, Gideon Mantell fedezte fel 1822-ben, három évvel később pedig leírást készített róla. A Megalosaurus után ez volt a második, hivatalosan elnevezett dinoszaurusz. A Megalosaurusszal és a Hylaeosaurusszal együtt ezt a nemet használták fel harmadikként, amikor a Dinosauria öregrendet definiálták. Az Iguanodon a kacsacsőrű hadrosauridákkal együtt az Iguanodontia csoportba tartozik. A nem taxonómiája kutatások tárgyát képezi, és az új fajok megjelenésével vagy a régiek más nembe való áthelyeződésével változhat. Az Iguanodon tudományos megértése a fosszíliákból kinyert új információk révén fejlődött az idők során. Két jól isme... |

Izvod: Fiziologija dinosaura povijesno je bila kontroverzna tema, posebno što se tiče termoregulacije. Nedavno su otkriveni mnogi novi dokazi o fiziološkim procesima u dinosaura, ne samo u vezi s metaboličkim sustavom i termoregulacijom nego i dišnim i krvožilnim sustavom. Tijekom ranog perioda paleontologije dinosaura u širokim se krugovima smatralo da su oni bili tromi, glomazni i hladnokrvni gušteri. Međutim, otkrićem mnogo kompletnijih skeleta na zapadu Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, počevši od 1870-ih godina, znanstvenici su mogli napraviti bolje interpretacije biologije i fiziologije dinosaura. Edward Drinker Cope, konkurent Othniela Charlesa Marsha u "Ratovima kostiju", istaknuo je da su barem neki dinosauri bili aktivni i pokretljivi, što se može vidjeti na slici dva "Laelapsa" u borbi; ta je slika stvorena pod direkcijom Charlesa R. Knighta. Usporedno, razvoj Darwinove evolucije, kao i otkriće Archaeopteryxa i Compsognathusa, naveo je Thomasa Henryja Huxleya na pretpostavku da su dinosauri bili u bliskom srodstvu s pticama. Unatoč ovakvom razmatranju, slika se dinosaura kao velikih gmazova ukorijenila i većina su se aspekata njihove paleobiologije tumačila kao tipično gmazovska, sve do prve polovice dvadesetog stoljeća. Počevši od 1960-ih godina i nastupanjem "renesanse dinosaura", pogled na dinosaure i njihovu fiziologiju počeo se drastično mijenjati, na osnovi otkrića pernatih dinosaura u Kini. Prema tom novom pogledu, ptice su evoluirale od vrlo pokretljivih dinosaura maniraptora. Izučavanje dinosaura počelo je tijekom 1820-ih u Engleskoj. Pioniri na ovom polju, poput Williama Buckl... |

Excerpt: Albertosaurus was a theropod that lived in North America during the cretaceous period. It's an ancestor to the bigger Tyrannosaurus Rex, and like its desendant, Albertosaurus has a large head and tiny forelimbs. Like all other theropods, it's carnivorous. Albertosaurus may have went after prey, like duck-billed dinosaurs, and ornithomimids. Like Tyrannosaurus, Albertosaurus had small arms and a enormous head with recurved serrated teeth. These teeth however, are more powerfully curved than those of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Unlike Tyrannosaurus, who underwent much evolutionary modification, all discovered specimens of Albertosaurus Dinosaur suggest that they didn't evolve much in over 10 million years, apart from for a trend towards a more slender or gracile form.Albertosaurus is named after the Canadian province of Alberta.

Hephaestus Books represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Hephaestus Books continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. This particular book is a collaboration focused on Iguanodonts.
More info: Iguanodonts were herbivorous dinosaurs that lived from the mid-Jurassic to Late Cretaceous. Some members include Camptosaurus, Callovosaurus, Iguanodon, and Ouranosaurus. Iguanodonts were one of the first groups of dinosaurs to be found. They are among the best known of the dinosaurs, and include the "duck-billed" hadrosaurs. Iguanodontians were fairly large animals, and some (such as Shantungosaurus, which measured up to 50 ft (15 m) in length and weighed up to 8 tons) approached the largest carnivorous dinosaurs in size. |

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Camptosaurus is a genus of plant-eating, beaked ornithischian dinosaurs of the Late Jurassic period of western North America. The name means 'flexible lizard', (Greek καμπτος/kamptos meaning 'bent' and σαυρος/sauros meaning 'lizard'). On 4 September 1879 William Harlow Reed in Albany County found the remains of a small euornithopod. That same year Professor Othniel Charles Marsh described and named the find as Camptonotus, or "flexible back", from Greek κάμπτω, "to bend" and νῶτον, "back", in reference to the presumed flexibility of the sacral vertebrae. |
