Prettige feite

Pakisaurus is a titanosaur, a group of sauropods that had bony plates (osteoderms) embedded in their skin.1

Its tail vertebrae were all procoelous, meaning the front of each bone was hollow like a socket, making the tail flexible and strong.1

Pakisaurus had a large braincase with a D-shaped bump (occipital condyle) where the skull attached to the neck.1

Its teeth were unusual: they were long, slender, and almost the same thickness from base to tip, unlike the cone-shaped teeth of many other titanosaurs.1

Fossils of Pakisaurus have been found in the Vitakri Formation in Pakistan, which is about 72 to 66 million years old, right before the dinosaurs went extinct.1 2

Scientists think Pakisaurus had long, slender legs, which made it a gracile (lightly built) titanosaur compared to its chunkier relatives.1

KI-prent van Pakisaurus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Pakisaurus 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: Pakisaurus
Benoem deur: Malkani 20045
Groep: Langnekke
Familie / klade: Pakisauridae5
Klassifikasie: Sauropodomorpha > Sauropoda > Titanosauria > Macronaria5
Ouderdom van die rotse: 72 tot 66 miljoen jaar (Maastrichtian)5
Rotsformasies: Vitakri, Lameta5
Lande: Pakistan, Indië5
Fossielrekords: 12 in The Paleobiology Database5
Ontdekking: Pakisaurus was named by Pakistani paleontologist Muhammad Sadiq Malkani in 2004, based on fossils found in the Vitakri Formation of Balochistan, Pakistan.1 1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how big Pakisaurus was, because only partial skeletons have been found. The length estimate of 10 metres is based on comparisons with other titanosaurs.1
