Mating Injuries Reveal Female Dinosaurs
Traumatic bone injuries in the tails of duckbilled dinosaurs have led scientists to a groundbreaking discovery, enabling them to identify female dinosaur bones.
For decades, palaeontologists have struggled to distinguish between female and male dinosaurs. However, an international team of researchers, including those from Queen's, has made a significant breakthrough by analyzing the herbivorous hadrosaurs.
- Using statistics and computer simulation, the team found a common pattern of bone fractures in the dinosaurs' tails.
- These fractures were likely caused during mating, where the male dinosaur crushed the backbones of the female.
The discovery was made possible! by the research of Dr Filippo Bertozzo, who studied duckbill dinosaur pathologies for his PhD at Queen's.
