Datos curiosos
Patagosaurus is known from many fossils, including a nearly complete skeleton and a juvenile. This helps scientists understand how it grew.1
It lived alongside other dinosaurs like Piatnitzkysaurus, Condorraptor, and Volkheimeria.1
Patagosaurus had a different tooth shape from other plant-eaters that lived with it. This means they probably ate different plants and did not compete for food.1
The first fossils were found in the 1970s on a farm near Cerro Cóndor, Argentina. The dinosaur was named in 1979 by paleontologist José Bonaparte.1
The environment where Patagosaurus lived had a salty lake and nearby volcanoes, similar to parts of modern Kenya and New Zealand.1
Patagosaurus is classified as a eusauropod, a group that includes many of the largest long-necked dinosaurs.1

?When did Patagosaurus live?
Patagosaurus lived about 178 million years ago, during the Middle Toarcian stage of the Jurassic Period.1
?Where was Patagosaurus found?
