Prettige feite

Issi saaneq is the northernmost sauropodomorph dinosaur ever found from the Late Triassic.3

Its fossils include two almost complete skulls, one from a middle-stage juvenile and one from a late-stage juvenile or subadult.1

Issi saaneq lived about 214 million years ago, during the Norian stage of the Triassic Period.1

It was a plateosaurid, a close relative of Plateosaurus from Europe.2

The fossils were collected from the Malmros Klint Formation, which was once a lake shore environment.1

Issi saaneq was named in 2021 by Beccari and colleagues, making it a relatively new dinosaur discovery.2

?What did Issi eat?

Issi was a plant-eater. It munched on plants with its leaf-shaped teeth.4 3

?When did Issi live?

Issi lived about 214 million years ago, during the Norian stage of the Late Triassic Period.4 1

?Is Issi a dinosaur?

Yes, Issi is a dinosaur. It is a plateosaurid sauropodomorph, a long-necked plant-eater that walked on two legs.4 3

Ontdekking: The first skull was found in 1991 in Greenland and was originally thought to be Plateosaurus. In 2021, scientists Beccari, Mateus, Wings, Milàn, and Clemmensen studied it and named it Issi saaneq, a new species.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly what the rest of Issi saaneq's body looked like, because only skulls have been described so far.3
