Byronosaurus Dinosaur Live

Byronosaurus was a troodontid dinosaur which lived all through the Late Cretaceous Period. It was named for Byron Jaffe, "in acknowledgment of his family's hold for the Mongolian Academy of Sciences-American Museum of Natural History Paleontological Expeditions." The first sample of Byronosaurus was uncovered in 1993 at Ukhaa Tolgod, Gobi Desert, Mongolia; a second was found in 1996 at Bolor's Hill, around five miles away.

Byronosaurus was a little, dexterous dinosaur that was more likely than not just five feet (1.5 meters) in length and 17 inches (50 centimeters) high. It measured just around 9 pounds (4 kilograms). Dissimilar to different troodontids, its teeth appear to need serrations. They are in its place needle-like, presumably most appropriate for getting little fowls, reptiles and warm blooded creatures. In particular, they resemble those of Archeopteryx, the winged animal like dinosaur.

The remaining parts of two people have been discovered, including two skulls. One, measuring eight creeps in length (23 centimeters), is preferable pruned over whatever other troodontid skull found to date.

It has a chamber in the nose where air enters from the nostrils before momentary through the mouth- - another trademark like that found in winged animals.
