Ebyewuunyisa

1

Cathartesaura is known from a partial skeleton that includes neck bones, tail bones, a shoulder blade, a hip bone, and a thigh bone.2

2

Its neck had special air pockets (pneumatic chambers) that made it lighter.1

3

Cathartesaura lived about 97 to 93 million years ago, during the Cenomanian and Turonian ages.1

4

It was a rebbachisaurid, a group of sauropods that were some of the last diplodocoid dinosaurs.1

5

The name Cathartesaura comes from the turkey vulture (Cathartes aura), because many vultures live at the fossil site called La Buitrera (which means 'the vulture place').1

6

The species name anaerobica honors an Argentine adhesive company that helped with the fossil's extraction.1
