Choconsaurus

Naam beteken: “Chocón lizard, after the town Villa El Chocón where it was found”1
Het geëet: PlanteLangnekkeVroeë Kryt

Choconsaurus was a long-necked plant-eater that lived in what is now Argentina. It is one of the most complete titanosaur skeletons ever found from its time. This dinosaur helps scientists understand how titanosaurs evolved.1

Prettige feite

1

Choconsaurus is known from a nearly complete series of back bones (dorsal vertebrae) and other parts of the skeleton.1

2

It lived during the Late Cretaceous, about 100 million years ago, in the Huincul Formation.1

3

Choconsaurus is a non-eutitanosaur titanosaur, meaning it was an early relative of the giant titanosaurs like Argentinosaurus.1

4

It had a small notch on the top of the back part of its neck bones, which is a unique feature not seen in other sauropods.1

5

Its tail bones had a special ridge called a hyposphene, which helped lock the vertebrae together for extra strength.1

Ontdekking
Choconsaurus was named in 2018 by paleontologists Edith Simón, Leonardo Salgado, and Jorge Calvo. The fossils were found near Villa El Chocón in Argentina.14
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are still debating exactly where Choconsaurus fits in the titanosaur family tree, because it has a mix of primitive and advanced features.1
