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.

2. Zalmoxis
Acest 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Bradycneme draculae
Lungimea 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.
