DINO-A-DAY #56: Hongshanosaurus

Welcome to Dino-a-Day, where we'll be highlighting one prehistoric beast per day until the release of our graphic novel Evolution: The Story of Life on Earth on January 4, 2011.

Each of the ninety-six creatures we'll be featuring on this blog are taken from a huge 2-page spread in the middle of Evolution. So while you can see each individual creature here, you'll need to grab the book to see them all together!



NAME: Hongshanosaurus
PRONUNCIATION: hong-SHAN-o-SAWR-əs
ORDER: Ornithischia
EXISTED DURING: Early Cretaceous
DISCOVERED: Northeastern China, 2003
FUN FACT: Hongshanosaurus’ name means “red hill lizard” and refers to the ancient Hongshan culture which lived in the same area as where the fossil was found.
