CollectA Rugops Dinosaur Toy
CollectA's replica of the Rugops depicts the theropod standing on its hind legs and baring its teeth. Rugops was discovered in Nigeria at the beginning of the 20th century, and has helped paleontologists understand more about the evolution of this type of dinosaur. The only fossil discovery to date is a skull. From the size of the skull, scientists estimate the Rugops grew to be 20 feet long. Unusual holes and pits in the skull could mean the Rugops had armored skin. It lived in the Middle Cretaceous period, about 100 - 95 million years ago.
