Nemegtosaurus was a long-necked plant-eater that lived in what is now Mongolia. It is known mostly from a single skull, so scientists have to guess what the rest of its body looked like.1

Prettige feite

1

Nemegtosaurus is only known from a skull and lower jaw, so its full body shape is a mystery.1

2

Its skull was lightly built and very long, with a snout that bent downward.2

3

The first complete sclerotic ring (a ring of bones in the eye) ever found in a sauropod was discovered in the Nemegtosaurus skull.2

4

It lived during the Late Cretaceous, about 72 to 68 million years ago.1

5

Nemegtosaurus had lance-shaped teeth with a crown-to-root ratio of 2:1.2

6

Its skull shows features similar to both Diplodocus and Dicraeosaurus, but it is placed in its own family, Nemegtosauridae.24

7

The occipital condyle (the ball that connects the skull to the neck) pointed downward and forward, meaning its head was held at an angle.2

?Is Nemegtosaurus a dinosaur?

Yes, it is a sauropod dinosaur, a long-necked plant-eater.31

?Where was Nemegtosaurus found?

Its skull was found in the Nemegt Basin in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia.3
