Prettige feite

Omeisaurus had a tail club made of fused bones at the end of its tail, which it may have used for defense.2

The largest species, Omeisaurus tianfuensis, weighed as much as two adult elephants.2

Omeisaurus lived in dense forests and sometimes shared its home with other sauropods like Shunosaurus and Datousaurus.2

The first Omeisaurus fossils were found in 1936 by Charles Lewis Camp and Yang Zhongjian near Mount Emei.2

Omeisaurus belongs to the family Mamenchisauridae, a group of long-necked sauropods from Asia.5 2

Many Omeisaurus skeletons were found during the construction of the Wujiaba Dam in the 1970s, including partial skulls and skeletons.2

?How big was Omeisaurus?

The largest species, O. tianfuensis, measured 18 to 20.2 metres (59 to 66 ft) long and weighed 8.5 to 9.8 metric tons (9.4 to 10.8 short tons). Other species were smaller, like O. junghsiensis at 14 metres (46 ft) and 4 metric tons (4.4 short tons).2 1

Omeisaurus lived during the Middle to Late Jurassic Period, about 169 to 159 million years ago. The Natural History Museum says Mid Jurassic, 169 to 159 million years ago.1 2

?Where was Omeisaurus found?

Omeisaurus fossils were found in China, mainly in Sichuan Province. The first discovery was near Mount Emei in 1936.2 4

?Was Omeisaurus a dinosaur?

Yes, Omeisaurus was a sauropod dinosaur. Sauropods are a group of long-necked, four-legged plant-eating dinosaurs.2 1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Omeisaurus
Benoem deur: Young 19395
Groep: Langnekke
Familie / klade: Mamenchisauridae5
Klassifikasie: Sauropodomorpha > Sauropoda5
Ouderdom van die rotse: 175 tot 143 miljoen jaar (Aalenian / Tithonian)5
Rotsformasies: Shaximiao5
Lande: China5
Fossielrekords: 13 in The Paleobiology Database5
Ontdekking: Omeisaurus was named in 1939 by Chinese paleontologist Yang Zhongjian (also known as C. C. Young) based on fossils found in Sichuan, China. The first fossils were collected in 1936 by Charles Lewis Camp and Yang Zhongjian.2 5
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure whether all Omeisaurus species belong in the same genus. Some studies suggest that Omeisaurus maoianus might be more closely related to Mamenchisaurus.2
