About
Othnielia
Living around 155 million years ago during the Late Jurassic Period, Othnielia was a small ornithopod.
Othnielia had a small beak-like mouth that was toothless in the front, but that did contain teeth in the sides near its cheeks. These teeth were angled in such a manner that the top teeth rubbed against the bottom teeth, keeping both the top and bottom teeth sharp.
It is believed that Othnielia was a very fast runner. Its long legs and shin bones along with its stout tail suggest an animal that could move quickly and also turn on a dime.
Othnielia was named for one of the most famous dinosaur hunters of all time, Othniel Charles Marsh. During his career, Marsh studied and named over 500 early lifeforms, including many dinosaurs.
