facts from the paperback "predatory dinosaurs from A Ordered by Ernst Probst
Munich (Book World) - In Bavaria in the Jurassic period about 150 million years ago next pterodactyls and prehistoric birds (Archaeopteryx), two of the smallest dinosaurs lived on earth. Both were less than a meter long and carnivorous. This is from the paperback "predatory dinosaurs from A to Z" (GRIN-Verlag) of the Wiesbaden science author Ernst Probst forth.
The small predatory dinosaur Compsognathus longipes (long-legged delicacy mandible) was discovered in 1858 by the court physician and collector Joseph Oberndorfer from Kelheim probably in a quarry near Jachenhausen close Riedenburg. The reptile was about the size of a turkey, a length of 89 centimeters and an estimated live weight of three kilograms. The first scientific description was before the Munich paleontologist Andrew Wagner.
In the abdominal region of Compsognathus longipes was found the skeleton of a small lizard, probably his last meal was was. Because of its small size was Compsognathus longipes from Bavaria long been considered the smallest dinosaur in the world. But later it was discovered in other countries, other smaller dinosaurs.
noticeably larger than the specimen from Bavaria is the second discovery of a Compsognathus, which succeeded in Canjuers near Nice in France and was made public in 1972. Its total length is estimated to be about 1.25 meters. First, we calculated the fossil from France to another type, called Compsognathus corallestris, but later it was regarded as identical with Compsognathus longipes.
something as small Compsognathus longipes is the predatory dinosaurs Juravenator starki, in 1998 by amateur paleontologists and brothers, Klaus-Dieter Weiss and Hans Weiß shame head was found near Eichstätt. This spectacular fossil came from a "Jura-Museum Eichstätt" leased the quarry excavation area of the Stark family to light. starki Juravenator one has recovered from a kitten with a length between about 75 and 80 centimeters. The first scientific description was made in 2006 by paleontologists Louis and Ursula B. Göhlich M. Chiappe.
lesser degree than the Bavarian dwarf dinosaur Compsognathus and Juravenator had the predatory dinosaurs Parvicursor (about 40 centimeters long) from Mongolia and Micro Raptor (about 47 to 77 centimeters) from China. Caenagnathasia (about 1.20 meters) from Uzbekistan) reached approximately the length of Compsognathus from France.
had a completely different caliber of predatory dinosaurs Spinosaurus aegypticus (Egyptian thorn lizard), which was described in 1915 by paleontologist Ernst Stromer of the Munich Reichenbach first scientifically. This monster is from North Africa with a length of about 16 to 18 meters and a live weight of an estimated seven to nine tonnes as the largest predatory dinosaurs of the earth. But his head reached a length of around 1.75 meters, which only the head, the total length of the aforementioned dwarf dinosaurs exceeded.
From the pen of Ernst Probst, also produced the pocket books "Dinosaurs from A to K", "Dinosaurs from M to Z", "Dinosaurs in Germany", "Dinosaurs in Baden-Württemberg" and "Walking in Lower Saxony. These titles are published in "GRIN for academic texts" (Munich) and is available as an e-book in PDF format or as a printed edition. The pocket books can be ordered in any good bookstore.
