Datos curiosos
Quilmesaurus is known only from a partial right leg: the lower half of the thighbone and a complete shinbone.1
It lived about 75 to 66 million years ago, during the Campanian and Maastrichtian stages of the Late Cretaceous.1
The shinbone of Quilmesaurus shows signs of a possible disease or injury, though scientists are not sure what caused it.1
Quilmesaurus was about 5.3 metres (17 feet) long, making it one of the smaller members of its family, the abelisaurids.1
Its leg bones were very sturdy, similar to those of Pycnonemosaurus, which was one of the largest abelisaurids.1
The Allen Formation where Quilmesaurus was found was once a humid coastal area with forests of palm trees and plum pines.1
