Scientific Classification
  Kingdom Animalia
  Phylum Chordata
  Class Sauropsida
  Superorder Dinosauria
  Order Ornithischia
  Suborder Cerapoda
  (unranked) Marginocephalia
  Infraorder Ceratopsia
  Family Protoceratopsidae
  Genus Protoceratops
Protoceratops was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in Mongolia, during the late Cretaceous period, about 85 to 80 million years ago.

Protoceratops was up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) long, although the average adult was about 6½ feet (2 meters) long.

Although Protoceratops did not have horns, there was a prominent bump in the middle of its snout, which seems larger in older males, and may have been used in ritual fights for mates.

Protoceratops probably spent most of its life on all fours, but as its hind legs were longer than its front legs, most likely could also walk upright on its rear legs.

The eggs and nests of Protoceratops were the first dinosaur eggs and nests discovered. The nests were dug in sand and contained up to 18 eggs, carefully laid in spirals, each egg being 8 inches (20 centimeters) long.

It is possible that the fossilized skeletons of Protoceratops (and perhaps other beaked dinosaurs) may have inspired the legend of the griffin. The griffin was said to be mythical creature with the body of a lion, and the head and wings of an eagle, that often guarded gold deposits. The theory, proposed by Adrienne Mayor of Stanford is that the fossilized skeletons were found by Saka-Scythian nomads who are known to have mined gold in Tien Shan and Altai Mountains of Central Asia, and that they passed on the myth to the ancient Persians, Greeks and Romans.

Protoceratops Facts



Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Protoceratops:
  1. Protoceratops was a genus of dinosaur.

  2. "Protoceratops" means "first horned face" (recognizing the fact it was one of the earliest ceatopsian dinosaurs with many primitive features).

  3. Protoceratops was a member of the Ornithischia ("bird-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Protoceratops was not closely related to birds, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones.

  4. Protoceratops was a Ceratopsian - a member of a group of related herbivorous (plant-eating) dinosaurs with beaks, many of which had neck frills and horns as well.

  5. Protoceratops lived between about 85 million years ago and 80 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.

  6. Protoceratops lived in Mongolia.

  7. Protoceratops was a herbivore (plant-eater).

  8. Protoceratops was typically about 6 feet (2 meters) long, although some animals grew as long as 9 feet (2.7 meters).

Es uno de los últimos géneros en aparecer antes del gran evento de extinción masiva del Cretácico-Terciario. Llevaba un gran volante del cuello óseo y tres cuernos; cuerpo grande sobre cuatro fornidas patas, y con semejanzas en aspecto con el moderno rinoceronte, Triceratops es uno de los más reconocidos de todos los dinosaurios.

Product Description:
Forrás: Wikipedia. Oldalak: 41. Fejezetek: Triceratops, Psittacosaurus, Styracosaurus, Ceratopsia, Protoceratops, Centrosaurus, Monoclonius, Torosaurus, Anchiceratops, Chasmosaurus, Nedoceratops, Einiosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Brachyceratops, Arrhinoceratops, Ceratopsidae, Chaoyangsaurus, Hongshanosaurus, Bagaceratops, Achelousaurus, Agathaumas, Ajkaceratops, Avaceratops, Pentaceratops, Zuniceratops, Yinlong, Albertaceratops, Leptoceratops, Archaeoceratops, Psittacosauridae, Protoceratopsidae, Montanoceratops, Tatankaceratops, Cerasinops, Centrosaurinae. Idézet: A Triceratops (jelentése 'háromszarvú arc', az ógörög τρι- / tri 'három', κέρας / kérasz 'szarv' és ωψ / -opsz 'arc' szavak összetételéből) a növényevő ceratopsida dinoszauruszok egyik neme, amely a késő kréta kor maastrichti korszaka idején, körülbelül 68-65 millió évvel ezelőtt élt Észak-Amerika területén. A kréta-tercier kihalási esemény előtt élt utolsó dinoszaurusznemek egyike volt. A nagy nyakfodorral és három szarvval rendelkező, négy lábon mozgó, a modern orrszarvúéhoz hasonló testű Triceratops az egyik legkönnyebben felismerhető dinoszaurusz. Habár élőhelyén olyan ragadozókkal osztozott, mint a félelmetes Tyrannosaurus, nem tisztázott, hogy e két állat harcolt-e egymással olyan módon, ahogy az a múzeumi kiállításokon és dinoszauruszokat ábrázoló képeken látható. Eddig még nem fedeztek fel teljes Triceratops csontvázat, de az állat jól dokumentált a számos részleges fosszília révén, melyeket a nem felfedezése, 1887 óta találtak. A nyakfodor és a három feltűnő arcszarv funkciója sok vitát váltott ki. A hagyományos elképzelés szerint a ragadozókkal szembeni védekezés eszközei voltak, az újabb elméletek azonban azt állítják, hogy inkább az udvarlás során és a dominancia kimutatásában játszottak szerepet, a modern rénszarvasok, havasi kecskék és óriásbogarak agancsaihoz vagy szarvaihoz hasonlóan. A Triceratops az egyik legjobban ismert ceratopsida, bár a nem...
