Astigmasaura was a long-necked plant-eater that lived in what is now Patagonia, Argentina. It was a rebbachisaurid sauropod, a group of dinosaurs that were medium to large in size and walked on four legs. Astigmasaura lived alongside giant titanosaurs during the Late Cretaceous.51

Prettige feite

1

Astigmasaura is one of the youngest rebbachisaurid dinosaurs ever found, living near the end of the group's existence.1

2

Its name comes from the Spanish word 'orejano', which means a stray animal without an owner, because it was found in the El Orejano locality.1

3

The fossil includes an almost complete pelvis and a series of tail vertebrae, which is rare for rebbachisaurids.1

4

Astigmasaura had tall neural spines on its front tail vertebrae, which helped attach strong muscles.1

5

It lived in the same time and place as giant titanosaurs, but was a smaller, more lightly built sauropod.1

Ontdekking
Astigmasaura was named in 2025 by Flavio Bellardini and colleagues based on a specimen found in the Huincul Formation of Patagonia, Argentina. The fossil was prepared at the Museo Municipal 'Argentino Urquiza' in Rincón de los Sauces.51
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are still debating exactly how Astigmasaura is related to other rebbachisaurids, and whether it was a more basal or more advanced member of the group.1
