Zece specii de dinozaur de la care homo sapiens au "mostenit" spatiul carpato-

danubiano-pontic

10 species of dinosaur that homo sapiens have "inherited" the Carpathian-Danubian-

Pontic

Dinozaurii de pe teritoriul

Romaniei sunt atipici prin

prisma faptului ca erau

"dinozauri pitici".

Dimensiunile lor reduse se

datoreaza factorilor de mediu

din zona in care aceste

creaturi traiau, astfel, in

Cretacic, Transilvania era o

insula micuta din Oceanul

Tetis (Marea Mediterana de

astazi).

De asemenea, se considera

ca Transilvania era locul

ideal pentru dinozaurii

pitici, mai ales ca aici nu

existau dinozauri

pradatori, nefiind necesar

sa se faca mari pentru a se

apara in fata pradatorilor.

Marea Thetis si Carpatii

ZalmoxisAcest ornitopod poarta numele zeului dacilor

si a trait in perioada Cretacicului (70-65 de milioane de ani).

Diferitele subspecii ale lui Zalmoxis

atingeau o lungime de maxim 4,5 metri.

Zalmoxes was a rather small bipedal herbivore,

but stoutly built with a large triangular head featuring

a pointed beak and a short neck. The species Z. robustus

was smaller, 2 to 3 meters long (7 to 10 ft).

Z. shqiperorum was 4 to 4.5 meters long (13 to 15 ft).

The small size was explained by Nopcsa

as an instance of insular dwarfism.

Telmatosaurus

In 1915 Nopcsa referred his species, as an

Orthomerus transsylvanicus. However, since the 1980s,

Orthomerus has been considered a nomen dubium,

leading to a revival of the name Telmatosaurus.

Fragmentary hadrosauroid material from Spain, France and

Germany, that had been referred to Orthomerus,

is now often assigned to Telmatosaurus, but an identity

is hard to prove; the same is also true of many Romanian

fragments and eggs.

The relatively small size of Telmatosaurus with a length

of five metres and a weight of half a tonne, has been

Explained as an instance of insular dwarfism.

Acest hadrosaur a fost descoeprit in 1893 de catre

Flavius Nopcsa, care l-a numit initial Limnosaurus

transsylvanicus. Nopcsa i-a schimbat numele in

Telmatosaurus in 1903 (telma insemnand "pamant

mlastinos"). Telmatosaurus avea o lungime de cinci

metri si cantarea aproximativ 500 de kilograme.

Balaurul Bondoc RhabadonProbabil cel mai

raspandit

dinozaur carnivor

(teropod)

care a trait in

Hateg in urma cu

70 de milioane de

ani.

Primele fosile au

fost descoperite

de Dan

Grigorescu in

1997.

Inrudit cu velociraptorul, Balaurul bondoc avea

o pereche de gheare pe fiecare dintre membrele inferioare,

cu ajutorul carora isi imobiliza prada.

Animalul avea o lungime de 180 pana la 210 centimetri,

de la cap la coada.

Balaur bondoc is a uniquely specialized species of carnivorous

(theropod) dinosaur which lived in what is now Romania

during the latter part of the Late Cretaceous.

Balaur was described by scientists in August 2010,

and was named after the balaur, a dragon of Romanian folklore.

The species name "bondoc" means stocky, so Balaur bondoc

means "Stocky dragon" in Romanian. This name refers

to the greater musculature that Balaur had compared

to its relatives. It is known from a single partial skeleton

representing the type specimen.

Rhabadon ar putea fi descris cel mai simplu ca

echivalentul dinozaurilor pentru o caprioara. La fel de

mare si de greu precum o gazela, erau hrana preferata

a teropozilor precum Pyroraptor sau Tarascosaurus.

In afara de Insula Hategului, acestia au mai trait pe

teritoriul Spaniei sau Frantei de astazi.

Rhabdodon (meaning "fluted tooth") lived in Europe

approximately 70 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous.

Current evidence indicates it is an iguanodont similar

to Tenontosaurus. Rhabdodon lived in Spain, France,

and on Haţeg Island in Romania.

It was smaller than its relatives, possibly due to the

insular environment that existed in Europe during

the Cretaceous period. Rhabodon was probably

the dinosaurian equivalent of a deer. They were similar

in size to deer, in relation to their size compared

to the predators of the time and place. These predators

included the small Pyroraptor and the gigantic

Tarascosaurus.

Struthiosaurus

Struthiosaurus (struthio=strut) avea o lungime de 2,2 metri

si era protejat de armura.

Sub-specia care a trait pe teritoriul Romaniei

se numeste Struthiosaurus transylvanicus,

nsa mai exista si verisorii sai

S. languedocensis si S. Austriacus.

Struthiosaurus (Latin struthio = ostrich + Greek sauros =

lizard) is one of the smallest known and most basal genera

of nodosaurid dinosaurs, from the Late Cretaceous period

(Campanian-Maastrichtian) of Austria, Romania and France

in Europe. It was protected by body armour. Although

estimates of its length vary, it may have been as small as 2.2

metres (7.2 ft) long

Elopteryx napocsai

Elopteryx nopcsai este un mic dinozaur carnivor,

cu o inaltime de 1 metru.

Probabil corpul era acoperit cu pene.

Ni-l putem imagina atacand, in grup, o pereche de

telmatosaur ce-si apara cuibul cu oua si pui.

In 1981, Dan Grigorescu and Eugen Kessler

stated that Elopteryx was a non-avian coelurosaurian

dinosaur. Thus E. nopcsai seems to be some

sort of birdlike eumaniraptoran, but not related

to modern birds. With the exception of Heptasteornis,

which seems quite robustly identified

as an alvarezsaurid of the subfamily Parvicursorinae

these taxa will be subject to continuing debate.

Hatzegopteryx

A fost un pterozaur de mari dimensiuni. Numele

se compune din Hatzeg, de la zona unde a fost descoperit,

si pteryx, grecescul pentru „pasare”. A fost descoperit in 1978

de Dan Grigorescu. Fragmentele de craniu si de alte oase

atesta existenta unui animal de mari dimenisuni,

cu o deschidere a aripilor de circa 12 m. Cu o lungime

estimata de circa 3 m, craniul sau ar putea fi

cel mai lung dintre toate animalele de uscat.

Hatzegopteryx ("Hațeg basin wing") is a genus of azhdarchid

pterosaur, known from incomplete remains found in Transylvania,

Romania. The skull fragments, left humerus, and other fossilized

remains indicate it was among the largest pterosaurs.

The skeleton of Hatzegopteryx has been considered identical

to the known remains of Quetzalcoatlus northropi. Q. northropi

has not yet been properly described, and if it is not a

nomen dubium, Hatzegopteryx is possibly its junior synonym.

Magyarosaurus dacus

Magyarosaurus dacus apartinea unui grup de titanozauri,

care erau sauropode gigantice (dinozauri ierbivori).

Era minuscul pe langa ruda sa cea mai mare,

Argentinosaurus, avand o lungime de doar sase metri

spre deosebire de 30-35 de metri in cazul dinozaurului

care traia pe teritoriul Argentinei de astazi.

It is one of the smallest-known adult sauropods,

measuring only six meters in length. The type species

is Magyarosaurus dacus. Magyarosaurus was found

to be a close relative of Rapetosaurus in the family

Saltasauridae in the sauropod clade Titanosauria

in a 2005 study of the titanosaurs by Kristina Curry Rogers.

Bradycneme draculaeLungimea a fost estimata ca fiind de 1 m si greutatea

5 kg. Vanator rapid, probabil traia in zonele impadurite

de pe teritoriul unde azi se afla Europa si se hranea cu

animale mici. Avea gatul lung si subtire, tinut in forma

literei S, musculos pentru a sustine capul alungit,

cu botul lung si maxilarele prevazute cu numerosi dinti

mici si ascutiti, cu margini zimtate. Membrele posterioare

cat si cele anterioare aveau gheare ascutite si tari, iar

la unul dintre degetele de la membrele din spate prezenta

cate o gheara mare, ascutita si curbata, ca lama de secera.

Bradycneme is a genus of theropod dinosaur from the early

Maastrichtian-age Upper Cretaceous Sânpetru Formation

of the Haţeg Basin, Transylvania, Romania. It is known only

from a partial right lower leg, which its original describers

Believed came from a giant owl.

Paludititan

Paludititan a fost descoperit de Zoltán Csiki,

Vlad Codrea, Catalin Jipa-Murzea si Pascal Godefroit

in 2010 si este una dintre putinele specii de titanozaur

prezente pe teritoriul Romaniei

Paludititan is a genus of titanosaurian dinosaur

which existed in what is now Haţeg Basin, Romania

during the late Cretaceous period. The type species

is Paludititan nalatzensis, after its finding place Nǎlaţ-Vad.

The type species was determined and described

by Zoltán Csiki, Vlad Codrea, Cǎtǎlin Jipa-Murzea and

Pascal Godefroit in 2010.
