Minmi paravertabra |
WHEN MINMI LIVED
Minmi lived during the early Cretaceous Period, about 119-113 million years ago.
DIET
Minmi was an herbivore (it ate only plants) eating low-lying plant material like cycads, ferns, horse-tail rushes, etc.
INTELLIGENCE
Minmi was an ankylosaur, whose intelligence (as measured by its relative brain to body weight, or EQ) was low among the dinosaurs.
Minmi probably moved relatively slowly on four legs (as determined from fossilized tracks, its estimated mass, and its leg length).
Minmi was found near the Minmi Crossing, in the Bungil Formation, near Roma, Queensland, Australia. It was described in 1980 by Ralph E. Molnar.
CLASSIFICATION
Minmi belonged to the Order Ornithischia, Suborder Thyreophora, was an Ankylosaur (a group of tank-like armored dinosaurs that included Euoplocephalus, Talarurus, Saichania, and Talarurus) and a Nodosaurid (ankylosaurs with no clubbed tail that included Hylaeosaurus, Nodosaurus, Panoplosaurus, Sauropelta, and Struthiosaurus,).
