Datos curiosos

Issi saaneq is the northernmost sauropodomorph dinosaur ever found from the Late Triassic.3

Its fossils include two almost complete skulls, one from a middle-stage juvenile and one from a late-stage juvenile or subadult.1

Issi saaneq lived about 214 million years ago, during the Norian stage of the Triassic Period.1

It was a plateosaurid, a close relative of Plateosaurus from Europe.2

The fossils were collected from the Malmros Klint Formation, which was once a lake shore environment.1

Issi saaneq was named in 2021 by Beccari and colleagues, making it a relatively new dinosaur discovery.2
