About Psittacosaurus
A parrot beaked early ceratopsian and one of the most completely known dinosaurs, with hundreds of specimens. One fossil captures its final moments, frozen mid pose by a collapsing burrow. Another preserves a bristled tail and even the cloaca. Grouped juveniles hint at parental care.
