Fun Yunnanosaurus Facts For Kids
Yunnanosaurus huangi, often known as the Yunnan lizard, is a dinosaur genus that belongs to the prosauropod dinosaur family. Young described it in 1942.
The Yunnanosaurus classification is the Chordata, Sauropsida, Dinosauria, Saurischia, Sauropodomorpha, and Prosauropoda. Yunnanosaurus is regarded as a significant species since its distinguishing characteristics were bestowed with an unanticipated development that ushers in the shift of convergent evolution.
Yunnanosaurus skulls have approximately 60 rather sophisticated teeth, indicating the beginning of the next stage of species development. Yunnanosaurus' sophisticated teeth resembled those of sauropods, the major plant-eaters of the Middle and Late Jurassic eras. Yunnanosaurus, the last of the prosauropods, also possessed a different-shaped head than its forefathers.
Young Chung Chien found many partial fossils in 1939, which Wang Tsun Yi excavated. These Dinosauria partial fossil remains have been discovered in Asia.

Fun Caihong Facts For Kids
Caihong juji is a tiny, bird-like rainbow dinosaur that existed during the Jurassic era in what is now China.
This dinosaur was approximately the size of a duck and had a bony crest on its head as well as long, ribbon-like feathers.
Micro structures in the nearly complete fossil discovered in Hebei Province revealed that it had iridescent feathers, especially on its head, neck, and breast, with colors that shimmered and changed in the light.
The feathers on its head, tail, and wings were iridescent, with hues that shimmered and changed in the light, according to an examination of its fossilized feathers making this one of the oldest known evidence of such a feature.
The presence of conspicuous lacrimal crests, larger pennaceous feathers on the forelimbs and back limbs, and tail feathers with huge asymmetrical vanes separate this dinosaur from superficially similar taxa such as Eosinopteryx and Anchiornis.
The nanostructures of the fossils identified as melanosomes have been shown to be comparable to the organelles that create dazzling iridescent hues in contemporary birds, making this one of the earliest known examples of such a characteristic.

Fun Camposaurus Facts For Kids
The Camposaurus arizonensis is a carnivorous dinosaur of the theropod family. Because there are so few fossils and features of this dinosaur that have been found and recognized, many details concerning it remain unknown.
It is thought to be the oldest neotheropod dinosaur discovery based on the fossils, which date from the Early to Middle Norian stage of the Late Triassic. It is linked to the dinosaurs Coelophysis and Syntarsus.
It has naturally become a contentious dinosaur due to the fact that so little is known about it.
For more than a decade, paleontologists have been attempting to figure out where it belongs in the theropod family tree, and if the dinosaur even deserves a name. The known bones are so difficult to correctly diagnose that they appear to confound rather than enlighten.

Fun Tratayenia Facts For Kids
The Tratayenia rosalesi is only known from fragmentary postcranial remains, primarily connected with the spine and hips, yet even these meager remnants have considerably advanced our understanding of the Cretaceous period South American dinosaurs.
Carcharodontosaurid Theropod dinosaurs were considered to be major predators in South America during the early Cretaceous period until Abelisaurid Theropod dinosaurs took over in the late Cretaceous period.
The Tratayenia rosalesi, on the other hand, belonged to neither of these two families; it was a Megaraptoran Theropod dinosaur.
Tratayenia rosalesi, the type and sole species, was described in March 2018. Juan D. Porfifi, R. D. Juárez Valieric, D. D. D. Santos and M. C. Lamanna, paleontologists at the University of North Carolina, unearthed it.

Fun Turiasaurus Facts For Kids
Turiasaurus is without a doubt one of the biggest sauropod dinosaurs that have ever roamed the European continent.
Early estimations of Turiasaurus set its possible length over 114.8 ft (35 m), however, most today consider Turiasaurus to have been approximately 98.4 ft (30 m) long, placing Turiasaurus as one of the largest.
Turiasaurus was formerly unofficially known as Riodeva-Saurus, after the Spanish town of Riodeva and described by Royo Torres, Cobos, and Alcala. Turiasaurus means 'Turia lizard', although it should be noted that 'Turia' is the Latinized version of Teruel, the name of the Province where the first Turiasaurus animals' fossils were discovered.
Turiasauria is a non-neosauropod eusauropod clade of dinosaurs that has been known since 2006 when Turiasaurus was described.
This group, which included Losillasaurus, was considered to be limited to the Late Jurassic of Spain.
However, during the last decade, we have gained a better understanding of this giant group because of the discovery of new species such as Zby from the Portuguese Late Jurassic, Tendaguria from the Tanzanian Late Jurassic, and Mierasaurus and Moabosaurus from the USA's Early Cretaceous.
Fun Scutellosaurus Facts For Kids
Scutellosaurus was a tiny ornithischian dinosaur species, that may have been predominantly bipedal but had forelimbs evolved enough to provide quadrupedal support for tasks such as eating. Scutellosaurus also possessed a coating of armor scutes over its back, which offered flexible yet strong armor against predator teeth and claws.
This armor, in conjunction with the ornithischian hip configuration, defines Scutellosaurus as one of the first thyreophoran dinosaurs, often known as armored dinosaurs that existed around 196 million years ago in what is now Arizona, USA, during the early portion of the Jurassic Period.
This species was not closely related to birds but has some similarities.
Douglas Lawler discovered the first Scutellosaurus fossils, which comprised a nearly complete skeleton, in the Kayenta Formation of Arizona in 1971. Its weight was estimated to be 22 lb (10 kg) and was 19.7 in (50 cm) tall.
