Datos curiosos
Cedarosaurus had a more slender arm bone (radius) than its relative Venenosaurus.1
Scientists found 115 gastroliths (stomach stones) with a Cedarosaurus skeleton. The stones weighed about 7 kilograms (15 pounds) in total.1
Most of the gastroliths were smaller than 10 millilitres in volume, and the largest one weighed 715 grams (25.2 ounces).1
The gastroliths were mostly made of chert, with some sandstone, siltstone, and quartzite. Some even contained tiny fossils inside.1
Its middle tail vertebrae have neural spines that point forward when the bones are lined up, a feature also seen in some other sauropods like Gondwanatitan.1

It lived during the Early Cretaceous Period, about 139 to 134 million years ago.1
?Where was Cedarosaurus found?
Its fossils were discovered in 1996 in eastern Utah, USA, in the Cedar Mountain Formation.1

- Aínda en debate
- Scientists are not sure exactly how Cedarosaurus used its gastroliths. Some stones were large and irregular, which might have been hard to swallow, so they may have been swallowed by accident.1
