Nomingia was an ominovorous dinosaur that lived in
Mongolia during the late
Cretaceous period,
about 70 to 65 million years ago. It was found in a region of
Mongolia known
as the Nomingiin Gobi, to which its name refers.
Nomingia was about 5 feet (1.6 meters) long.
Physically, Nomingia, like many of its relatives such
(Caudipteryx,
Oviraptor and
Protarchaeopteryx) seems to have been quite bird-like.
It was probably covered with feathers, and its tail had a
pygostyle-like mass (like that of Caudipteryx),
and so is thought to have had a fan of feathers at its tail.
"Nomingia" refers to a part of the Gobi desert near where this dinosaur was first found, the Nomingiin Gobi.
Nomingia was a member of the Saurischia ("lizard-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Nomingia was not closely related to lizards, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones.
Nomingia was a Theropod - a member of a group of related bipedal dinosaurs that included the ancestors of birds (although Nomingia was not itself an ancestor of birds).
Nomingia lived between about 70 million years ago and 65 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.
Nomingia was a omnivore (ate both meat and plants).
Nomingia was about 5 feet (1.6 meters) long.
Nomingia weighed about 45 pounds (20 kilograms).
