Prettige feite

1

Turiasaurus had a surprisingly small skull, only about 70 centimeters long. Scientists think a bigger head might have made it break its own neck.1

2

Its upper arm bone (humerus) was 1.79 meters long, longer than most adult humans are tall.2

3

Turiasaurus belongs to a group called Turiasauria, which includes other European sauropods like Losillasaurus and Galvesaurus.12

4

It lived during the Late Jurassic, about 155 to 146 million years ago, in what is now Spain.13

5

The first fossils of Turiasaurus were found in the Villar del Arzobispo Formation, and included an arm, skull pieces, teeth, and ribs.1

6

Turiasaurus was not a neosauropod, meaning it belonged to a more primitive branch of the sauropod family tree.1
