1

Meroktenos had a very wide and thick thighbone, a shape that was previously only seen in giant sauropods. Scientists think this helped support its heavy body.1

2

The name Meroktenos comes from Greek words meaning 'thigh' and 'beast', because its thighbone is so unusual.1

3

Meroktenos lived about 216 to 201 million years ago, during the Late Triassic period.14

4

The first fossils of Meroktenos were found in 1959 by a team of geologists and paleontologists near the village of Thabana Morena in Lesotho.1

5

Meroktenos was originally thought to be a species of Melanorosaurus, but in 2016 scientists gave it its own genus.12

6

The thighbone of Meroktenos is about 48 centimeters long, which suggests the whole animal was around 4 meters in length.1

In 1959, François Ellenberger, Paul Ellenberger, Jean Fabre and Leonard Ginsburg discovered the first fossils near Thabana Morena, Lesotho. In 1993, François-Xavier Gauffre named it Melanorosaurus thabanensis, but in 2016 Claire Peyre de Fabrègues and Ronan Allain gave it its own genus, Meroktenos.12

Scientists are not sure why Meroktenos had such a wide thighbone. It was not a giant dinosaur, so the thick bone may have had a different purpose.1
