Ammosaurus was a long-necked dinosaur that lived during the Early Jurassic, about 195 to 180 million years ago. It was a plant-eater that probably walked on all fours but could stand on its hind legs to reach high plants. Fossils of this dinosaur have been found in the USA and Canada.1 2

Ammosaurus was once called Yaleosaurus, named after the famous Yale University.4

Some scientists think Ammosaurus might actually be the same dinosaur as Anchisaurus, just a larger individual.2

Fossils of Ammosaurus were found in a bridge abutment in Connecticut, USA, when the bridge was demolished in 1969.2

Ammosaurus lived in a dry environment with strong wet and dry seasons, like a desert today.2

Its spoon-shaped teeth were perfect for ripping plants, and it had fewer teeth than many other prosauropods.2
