Datos curiosos

1

Shunosaurus had a very short neck for a sauropod, similar to some other dinosaurs called dicraeosaurids.1

2

Its tail ended in a club with two spikes made of bone, each about 5 centimetres (2 inches) long. It probably used this club to fight off predators.1

3

Scientists know a lot about Shunosaurus because many complete skeletons, skulls, and even babies have been found. About 94% of all its bones have been identified.1

4

Shunosaurus was first discovered in 1977 by a group of students practicing fossil digging at a road bank in Dashanpu, Sichuan.1

5

Its teeth were strong and long, with crowns up to 8 centimetres (3.1 inches) long. They had a unique shape: a cylindrical body with a spoon-shaped tip.1

6

Shunosaurus lived alongside other dinosaurs like the sauropods Datousaurus and Omeisaurus, the early stegosaur Huayangosaurus, and the meat-eating theropod Gasosaurus.1
