Just a friendly reminder about this week's quiz question. You've been asked: Which of the following Australian dinosaurs was the first to be officially named? Australovenator, Leaellynasaura, Rhoetosaurus, Qantassaurus, Minmi or Wintonotitan?
Today's dino:
Name: Ostromia
Pronunciation: Os-tro-me-ah
Meaning of name: Named after American palaeontologist, John Harold Ostrom.
Species: O. crassipes
Size: Uncertain due to a lack of fossils.
Family: Anchiornithidae
Diet: Carnivore/insectivore
First fossils found: Known only from a single, partial skeleton discovered in the Painten Formation of southern Germany in 1855. Originally named as a species of Pterodactylus in 1857, before being renamed as a species of Archaeopteryx in 1970. Eventually recognized as a new genus and named Ostromia by Christian Foth and Oliver Rauhut in 2017.
Lived: 150.8 to 145.5 million years ago during the Kimmeridgian and Tithonian stages of the Late Jurassic in what is now southern Germany.

Yes, that would keep it warm during the winter. But it probably has another purpose...

Time to reveal the answer to this week's quiz question. You were asked: Which of the following Australian dinosaurs was the first to be officially named? Australovenator, Leaellynasaura, Rhoetosaurus, Qantassaurus, Minmi or Wintonotitan?
Answer: Rhoetosaurus. Named after a titan in Greek mythology, Rhoetosaurus was the first sauropod to be discovered in Australia and the first Australian dinosaur to be officially named. It was discovered in southern Queensland in 1924 and named by museum director, Albert Heber Longman, in 1926. One of Australia's largest dinosaurs, Rhoetosaurus lived during the Bajocian stage of the Middle Jurassic, between 170.9 and 168.2 million years ago.
