Prettige feite

Savannasaurus had one of the widest hips of any sauropod, measuring over one metre across.1

Its name means 'savanna lizard' because it was found in a dry, grassy area of Australia.1

This dinosaur lived during the Cretaceous Period, about 100 to 90 million years ago.3

Savannasaurus is a titanosaur, a group of sauropods that spread all over the world by 125 million years ago.1

Its bones were found in a single concretion, meaning they were stuck together in a hard rock.1

Savannasaurus had a wide body and a long neck, but its tail was relatively short compared to other sauropods.1
