Diamantinasaurus

O nome significa: “Diamantina lizard, named after the Diamantina River in Australia”1
Comía: PlantasPescozos longosCretáceo Superior

Diamantinasaurus was a big, long-necked plant-eater that lived in Australia about 95 million years ago. It was a titanosaur, a kind of sauropod, but it was smaller than many of its giant cousins. Its bones were found with those of a meat-eating dinosaur called Australovenator, maybe because they died together in an ancient lake.21

Datos curiosos

1

Diamantinasaurus had a complete front limb and shoulder girdle, but its skull has never been found.2

2

It lived in a warm, wet environment with big rivers, oxbow lakes, and swamps, like a giant floodplain.2

3

Its nickname is 'Matilda', after the famous Australian song 'Waltzing Matilda'.21

4

Diamantinasaurus was a lithostrotian titanosaur, a group that had bony plates called osteoderms in their skin, though none have been found with this dinosaur.2

5

It had a hand with a claw on one finger, which is unusual for sauropods.2

6

The fossils were found in the Winton Formation, which is made of sandstones and claystones from the Late Cretaceous.21
