Pilmatueia

Naam beteken: “from Pilmatué, the place where it was found”1

Pilmatueia was a small, long-necked dinosaur that lived in what is now Argentina. It had tall, forked spines on its backbone, like a spiky fence. This plant-eater was a cousin of the famous Amargasaurus.1

Prettige feite

Pilmatueia lived during the Valanginian age of the Early Cretaceous, a time when dinosaur fossils are rare.1

Its backbone had air sacs that made the bones lighter, unlike most other dicraeosaurids.1

The forked spines on its neck vertebrae were low compared to its relative Amargasaurus.1

Pilmatueia shared its home with a small meat-eater called Lajasvenator and a type of podocarp tree.1

Its fossils were first dug up in 2009, but the dinosaur was named in 2019.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Pilmatueia

?How big was Pilmatueia?

It was a relatively small sauropod, perhaps less than 12 metres (about 39 feet) long.1

?What did Pilmatueia eat?

It was a plant-eater, like other sauropods.1

?When did Pilmatueia live?

It lived during the Valanginian age of the Early Cretaceous, about 140 to 136 million years ago.1

?Did Pilmatueia have feathers?

No, it was a sauropod dinosaur, and there is no evidence that sauropods had feathers.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Pilmatueia
Benoem deur: Coria et al. 20192
Groep: Langnekke
Familie / klade: Dicraeosauridae2
Klassifikasie: Sauropodomorpha > Sauropoda > Diplodocoidea2
Ouderdom van die rotse: 137 tot 133 miljoen jaar (Valanginian)2
Rotsformasies: Mulichinco2

Ontdekking: Pilmatueia was named in 2019 by Rodolfo Coria and colleagues. The species name honors Ramón Faúndez, who helped with the excavations.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how Pilmatueia is related to other dicraeosaurids. Some think it is close to Amargasaurus, while others think it is more primitive.1
