Stenopelix
Extinct genus of dinosaurs / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stenopelix (meaning "narrow pelvis") is a genus of small marginocephalian dinosaur, possibly a basal ceratopsian, from the Early Cretaceous of Germany. It lived in the late Berriasian Stage of the Cretaceous period, approximately 140 myr ago.[1] The genus is based on a partial skeleton lacking the skull, and its classification is based on characteristics of the hips.
