Mangiava: PlantasCuliezs lungsCretacic tempriv

Karongasaurus was a long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur that lived in Africa during the Early Cretaceous. It is known from just a jawbone and some teeth, but scientists think it was a titanosaur, a type of giant sauropod. Imagine a dinosaur with a U-shaped mouth full of slender, cone-shaped teeth!1

Karongasaurus was the first dinosaur ever named in a scientific paper that was published only online, not in a printed book or journal.1

Its fossils include only part of a lower jaw and twenty isolated teeth, found between 1987 and 1992.1

The jaw of Karongasaurus is U-shaped when viewed from above, and its teeth are more cylindrical than those of its relative Malawisaurus.1

Scientists think Karongasaurus had a long, low skull, similar to other titanosaurs with slender front teeth.2

Karongasaurus and Malawisaurus were two different titanosaurs that lived together in Early Cretaceous Malawi, but they had different jaw shapes and probably ate different plants.2

The name Karongasaurus means 'Karonga lizard', after the Karonga district in Malawi where its fossils were dug up.1
