Thescelosaurus Fossils

Thescelosaurus is a genus of small herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 68 to 66 million years ago. The name Thescelosaurus means "wonderful lizard" in Greek. Fossils of Thescelosaurus have been found in North America, specifically in the states of Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota. Thescelosaurus was first discovered in 1891 by John Bell Hatcher in Wyoming. The fossils consisted of a partial skeleton, including vertebrae, limb bones, and parts of the skull. Since then, additional specimens have been found, allowing scientists to gain a better understanding of this dinosaur's anatomy and behavior.
