Prettige feite

Tornieria was first named Gigantosaurus, but that name was already taken by another dinosaur, so it was renamed in 1911.1

For many years scientists thought Tornieria was the same as the North American dinosaur Barosaurus, but now they think it is a separate genus.1 2

Tornieria had a short lower leg compared to its upper leg, which is different from many other diplodocids.1

Its fossils were found in the Tendaguru Beds of Tanzania, a famous site that also produced the giant dinosaur Giraffatitan.1 3

Tornieria lived during the Late Jurassic period, about 152 to 143 million years ago.3

One species of Tornieria, T. gracilis, was named for having more slender hind limbs.1

KI-prent van Tornieria — 'n KI-prent van hoe Tornieria 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.

?How big was Tornieria?

?What did Tornieria eat?

Tornieria was a plant-eater, or herbivore. It ate plants like ferns and leaves.1 3

?Where did Tornieria live?

Tornieria lived in what is now Tanzania, in Africa. Its fossils were found in the Tendaguru Beds.1

?Is Tornieria a dinosaur?

Yes, Tornieria is a dinosaur. It is a type of sauropod called a diplodocid.1 3

Mite-breker

Mite: Some people think Tornieria is just a species of Barosaurus.

Waarheid: Scientists now agree that Tornieria is a distinct genus, not the same as Barosaurus.1 2

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Tornieria
Benoem deur: Sternfeld 19113
Groep: Langnekke
Familie / klade: Diplodocidae3
Klassifikasie: Sauropodomorpha > Sauropoda > Diplodocoidea3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 152 tot 143 miljoen jaar (Kimmeridgian / Tithonian)3
Rotsformasies: Tendaguru3
Lande: Tanzanië3
Fossielrekords: 7 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: German paleontologist Eberhard Fraas discovered two sauropod skeletons in Tanzania in 1907. He named them Gigantosaurus africanus and G. robustus in 1908. Because the name Gigantosaurus was already used, Richard Sternfeld renamed the genus Tornieria in 1911.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists still debate whether Tornieria gracilis is a valid species or just a variant of T. africana.1
