Adasaurus Dinosaur (Ada Lizard) was a bird-like carnivorous dinosaur that lived 70 million years ago, throughout the late Cretaceous Period. (This name came from the name of a mythological evil demon of Mongolia.) |
|
It has been described as being similar to Archeopteryx
and its discovery added fuel to the present debate concerning dinosaurs
and birds. Only unfinished fossils have been found, all over Mongolia,
but mainly based in the Gobi desert region. |
|
Aspects of the Adasaurus dinosaurs pelvis, which was similar to that of ornithischians, lead some scientists to believe that it is more closely connected with birds than dinosaurs. |
