Atlasaurus had a shorter neck than its relative Brachiosaurus, but its neck was still about 3.86 metres (12.7 feet) long.1

2

Its thigh bone (femur) was about 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches) long, which is taller than most people!1

3

The lower jaw of Atlasaurus was about 69 centimetres (27 inches) long, and its teeth were spoon-shaped with tiny serrations.1

4

Atlasaurus had longer arms compared to its legs than many other sauropods, with an upper arm bone (humerus) that was almost as long as its thigh bone.1

5

A nearly complete tail of Atlasaurus was found in Morocco and took 300 hours to piece back together in Utah, USA.1

6

Scientists first thought Atlasaurus was a kind of primitive sauropod called a cetiosaur, but later they saw it was more like Brachiosaurus.1
