Scipionyx
Scipionyx was a carnivore (meat-eater) dinosaur that lived in
southern Italy
during the
Cretaceous period,
about 113 million years. It is known from a single
fossil juvenile
animal that was found about 30 miles (48 kilometers) northwest of what is today
the city of Naples.
The fossil juvenile Scipionyx
is just a few inches long, so there a number of uncertainties about the animal. These include
its exact scientific classification, and how big adults are - although they have been estimated
to have probably been about 6 feet (1.8 meters) long.
The fossil of Scipionyx is
however very important, because it is one of very few
fossils that contains
preserved internal organs (it is believed that these were preserved because the animal died
fell into and died in an oxygen-poor lagoon). These internal organs include muscles, liver, intestines
and parts of the animal's windpipe.
Scipionyx was a carnivore (meat-eater) that lived about 113 million years ago

Scipionyx Facts
Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Scipionyx:
- Scipionyx was a genus of dinosaur.
- "Scipionyx" means "Scipio's claw". It is named after Scipione Breislak, the Italian geologist who write the first description of the formation where the fossil was subsequently found.

- Scipionyx lived in southern Italy.
- Scipionyx was a carnivore (meat-eater).
- Scipionyx is currently known only from a single fossil juvenile specimen which is just inches long. Adults are estimated to have probably been about 6 feet (1.8 meters) long.
