Prettige feite

Irisosaurus is a sauropodiform, meaning it is an early relative of the giant long-necked sauropods like Brachiosaurus.1

The only known fossil of Irisosaurus is a partial skeleton called the holotype, found in 2018.1

Its name comes from the Latin word for rainbow, because Yunnan is known for its colorful clouds.1 2

Irisosaurus lived during the Early Jurassic Period, about 192 to 184 million years ago.5

Scientists think Irisosaurus was a close relative of Mussaurus, another early sauropodomorph.1

KI-prent van Irisosaurus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Irisosaurus 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.

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Irisosaurus
