Unique dinosaur fossils on display at LA County Natural History Museum
Oct. 23, 2009 | By Alex Cohen | KPCC
Fossils of what is believed to be North America's smallest dinosaur are on display now at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. The Fruitadens Haagarorum was no more than two pounds and slightly over a couple feet long. The juveniles were even smaller. Scientists say the Fruitadens Haagarorum was primarily a plant-eating dinosuar, but they believe it supplemented its diet by eating non-plant items, like bugs or small animals. The dinosaur was named in honor of Paul Haaga, the president of the museum's Board of Trustees.
