Prettige feite

Fusuisaurus is known from only a partial skeleton, including the left hip bone, left pubis, tail vertebrae, ribs, and the end of the left thigh bone.1

Scientists think Fusuisaurus was one of the largest sauropods from the Early Cretaceous period.1

It belongs to a group called Titanosauriformes, which includes some of the biggest dinosaurs ever.3 1

Fusuisaurus is considered a very early or 'basal' titanosauriform, meaning it had features that were not as advanced as later relatives.1

The fossils were found in the Napai Formation, which is about 121 to 113 million years old.3 1

Its full scientific name, Fusuisaurus zhaoi, honors a person named Zhao.1

KI-prent van Fusuisaurus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Fusuisaurus dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.
