Prettige feite

Pradhania was only about 4 meters (13 feet) long, making it a small sauropodomorph.1

Its fossils were found in the Upper Dharmaram Formation of India, which dates to the Early Jurassic.1

Scientists originally thought Pradhania was a basal sauropodomorph, but later studies placed it in the family Massospondylidae.1

The only known specimen of Pradhania is a partial skeleton, including parts of the skull and limbs.4

Pradhania lived between 201 and 193 million years ago, during the Hettangian and Sinemurian ages.2

The name Pradhania honors Dhuiya Pradhan, who collected fossils for the Indian Statistical Institute.1

KI-prent van Pradhania — 'n KI-prent van hoe Pradhania 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: Pradhania
Benoem deur: Kutty et al. 20074
Groep: Langnekke
Familie / klade: Massospondylidae4
Klassifikasie: Sauropodomorpha4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 201 tot 193 miljoen jaar (Hettangian / Sinemurian)4
Rotsformasies: Dharmaram4

Ontdekking: Pradhania was named in 2007 by T. S. Kutty, Sankar Chatterjee, Peter M. Galton, and Paul Upchurch. The type specimen, a partial skeleton, was found near Krishnapur in Andhra Pradesh, India.1 4
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure whether Pradhania belongs to Massospondylidae or Plateosauridae, as different studies place it in different families.2
