Description
Illustrated by the talented Sheather888.

This 2m Ornithischian dinosaur was a member of the widespread and successful family Rhododromidae, which spread around the northern hemisphere during the Paleocene and Eocene. Descended from animals similar to Oryctodromeus, this group occupied the small, cursorial herbivore niche that Ornithischians have inhabited since the Late Triassic. Compsodromeus itself was found at the Late Paleocene fossil sites of Cernay and Berru in the land that is known as France in our timeline. As Rhododromids are known to have originated in North America, this suggests that the ancestors of this genus arrived in Europe via Greenland. Similar North American immigrants from roughly the same time include Chasmosaurine Ceratopsians and the Saurolophine Hadrosaur Romanorhinus. Unfortunately for Compsodromeus, the 3.5m Dromaeosaur Boreoraptor also made the crossing.
