Artistic Interpretation Of
A Bambiraptor |
Bambiraptor is a
Late Cretaceous,
75 million year old, bird-like
dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur. A
Bambiraptor skeleton was discovered in
1993 by
14-year-old fossil hunter Wes Linster, who was looking for
dinosaur bones with his parents near
Glacier National Park in Montana. Linster told
Time Magazine that he uncovered the
skeleton on a tall hill and was amazed at his discovery. "
I bolted down the hill to get my mom because I knew I shouldn't be messing with it", he said. The bones that
Linster discovered on that hilltop led to the excavation of a skeleton that was approximately 95 percent complete. Because of its completeness
Florida Paleontology Institute Director Martin Shugar compared it to the
'Rosetta Stone' that enabled archaeologists to translate
Egyptian hieroglyphics. Yale paleontologist
John Ostrom, who reintroduced the
theory of bird evolution from dinosaurs after his
1964 discovery of
Deinonychus in Wyoming, agreed, calling the specimen a
"jewel", and telling reporters that the completeness and undistorted qualities of the bones should help scientists further understand the
dinosaur-bird link. -

| Bambiraptor`s Fossil |
O bambiraptor (
Bambiraptor feinbergorum) foi uma espécie de
dinossauro carnívoro e bípede que viveu na
segunda metade do período Cretáceo.
Media de
1 a 1,7 metro de comprimento e
seu peso é estimado em 5 quilos.
O
bambiraptor viveu na
América do Norte e seus
fósseis foram encontrados em
Montana, Estados Unidos, pelo paleontólogo amador
Wes Linster, de apenas 14 anos.
Os
fósseis de bambiraptor já encontrados eram de uma espécime jovem, por isso muitas informações sobre os indivíduos adultos, como sua altura e comprimento, ainda tem uma grande margem de erro. -
