Comments
Muttaburrasaurus is a genus of ornithopod dinosaur that existed in the Cretaceous Period between 112 and 102 million years ago. The dinosaur was discovered by Doug Langdon on a property near Muttaburra, Queensland. The remains which comprised about 60% of the skeleton including a skull were collected soon after by the Queensland Museum. Muttaburrasaurus langdoni which means Langdon's Muttaburra Lizard was scientifically described and named by Dr Alan Bartholomai and Dr Ralph Molnar.
Last of a five coin set.
