Prettige feite

Katepensaurus had special holes in the transverse processes of its back vertebrae, which is why it was named 'hole lizard'.1

The only known specimen was a young animal that was at least seven years old and still growing when it died.1

Its fossils were found in the Bajo Barreal Formation, which is about 100 to 90 million years old, from the Cenomanian to Turonian ages.1 4

Katepensaurus is a rebbachisaurid sauropod, a group of long-necked dinosaurs that lived mostly in South America and Africa.1 2

The species name, goicoecheai, honors Alejandro Goicoechea, the owner of the ranch where the fossil was found.1
