“…and then the there was a big KABOOOM and the dinosaur appeared. Just joking. They found the fosils of the Ekrixinatosaurus next to a TNT Factory.”
— Owen Grady
The Ekrixinatosaurus is a theropod dinosaur genus belonging to the family Abelisauridae that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 95 million years ago, in South America. Fossil remains of this dinosaur were discovered in the Neuquén Province of Argentina.
This Ekrixinatosaurus was a medium-sized theropod, estimated to be around 6 to 8 meters (20 to 26 feet) in length and likely had short arms with two-fingered hands, a large head, and a robust body. It was a bipedal dinosaur, meaning it walked on two legs.
Ekrixinatosaurus was first described in scientific literature in 2004 by paleontologist Jorge Calvo and colleagues. The name “Ekrixinatosaurus” is derived from the Greek words “ekrixinato” (explosion) and “sauros” (lizard), referring to the discovery site, which was near an explosives factory.
