Revision as of 21:58, 1 April 2018
Psittacosaurus is a small early Marginocephalian from the Early Cretaceous Period. It lived in what is now Asia. It is known from a number of well preserved skeletons, which represent about eight different species.
Psittacosaurus was one of the smallest and most primitive of the Marginocephalians. It lacked the well-developed frill and horns that were typical of more advanced forms, yet, along with the hard keratinous beak, it had the characteristic skull shape of a ceratopsian. In fact, Psittacosaurus is now believed to be an ancestor of the larger, more advanced horned dinosaurs.
Psittacosaurus‘ hindlimbs were longer-although only slightly-than its forelimbs, which suggests that it could have moved about in an upright position for short distances. In 2002, quills were found in Psittacosaurus‘ tail, possibly suggesting that these quills were present in all later ceratopsians.
An extraordinarily well preserved Psittacosaurus with skin covering much of it's skeleton was discovered. Large parts of the skin were preserved as a thin dark layer, where the skin has been transformed into a dark carbonized matter.[1]
