Nevadadromeus

Nevada runner

• Nevada · English/Spanish (place name) · the US state of Nevada, where the fossils were found
• dromeus · Greek · runner

The name combines Nevada, the US state where the fossils were found, with the Greek "dromeus", meaning "runner". It points to where the animal was found and to its build as a small, probably fleet-footed plant-eating dinosaur.

Period

Cretaceous

Found in

Willow Tank Formation, Nevada, USA

I recall this as a small ornithopod from the Willow Tank Formation of Nevada, but I am not certain of the author, year, exact age or classification, so I have left those fields blank. Please check the original description.
