Tendaguria

Naam beteken: “the Tendaguru one”1

Het geëet: PlanteLangnekkeLaat Jura tot Vroeë Kryt

Tendaguria was a giant, long-necked plant-eater that stomped through Late Jurassic Tanzania. It had special holes in its back bones that no other sauropod had. This gentle giant probably used its long neck to munch leaves high up in trees.1 3

Prettige feite

Tendaguria had two distinct cavities on the diapophyses of its anterior dorsal vertebrae, a feature that distinguishes it from other sauropods.1

It is unique among turiasaurs in having a defined ridge in the middle of the anteriormost dorsal spines.1

The type specimen consists of two anterior dorsal vertebrae, probably from the same individual, found a short distance apart.1

Tendaguria lived about 149 to 145 million years ago, during the Tithonian stage of the Late Jurassic.1 3

A cervical vertebra referred to Tendaguria shows some similarities to Camarasaurus, another long-necked sauropod.1

The fossils were found in the Upper Saurian Bed of the Tendaguru Series, which is famous for many other dinosaurs.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Some people think Tendaguria was a titanosaur, a type of giant sauropod.

Waarheid: Scientists now think Tendaguria was a turiasaur, a different group of sauropods, based on detailed studies of its back bones.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Tendaguria
Benoem deur: Bonaparte et al. 20003
Groep: Langnekke
Familie / klade: Turiasauria3
Klassifikasie: Sauropodomorpha > Sauropoda3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 149 tot 143 miljoen jaar (Tithonian)3
Rotsformasies: Tendaguru3
Lande: Tanzanië3
Fossielrekords: 2 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: In 1911, German geologist Wilhelm Bornhardt discovered two sauropod vertebrae near Tendaguru Hill in Tanzania. They were described in 1929 but not named until 2000, when José Bonaparte, Wolf-Dieter Heinrich, and Rupert Wild gave them the name Tendaguria tanzaniensis.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists still debate exactly where Tendaguria fits in the sauropod family tree. Some studies place it with turiasaurs, while others have suggested it might be closer to titanosaurs.1
