Quaesitosaurus was a huge, long-necked plant-eater that lived in what is now Mongolia. Its skull was long and low, a bit like a horse's head, and it had peg-like teeth at the front of its mouth. Scientists only know it from a skull and jaw, so they guess what the rest of its body looked like.21

1

Quaesitosaurus is known only from a skull and a nearly complete lower jaw. No bones from the rest of its body have been found.2

2

Its skull looks a lot like the skull of Diplodocus, so scientists think its body might have been similar too, with a long neck and tail.2

3

The name Quaesitosaurus means 'extraordinary lizard' because its skull was so unusual.21

4

Quaesitosaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 72 to 71 million years ago.2

5

It is a type of titanosaur, a group of huge, long-necked sauropods.2

6

The skull of Quaesitosaurus has pits on the front square bone, which helps tell it apart from its close relative Nemegtosaurus.2

Las dumondas las pli frequentas davart Quaesitosaurus

?How big was Quaesitosaurus?

Scientists estimate it was about 12 metres (39 feet) long, based on its relatives. The Natural History Museum gives a length of 23 metres (75 feet), so the exact size is not certain.21

?What did Quaesitosaurus eat?

It was a plant-eater (herbivore) that ate soft plants like ferns, horsetails, and club mosses. Its peg-like teeth were good for stripping leaves.4

?When did Quaesitosaurus live?

It lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 72 to 71 million years ago. Some sources say 86 to 84 million years ago, so the dates are not exact.21

?Is Quaesitosaurus a dinosaur?

Yes, it is a dinosaur. It is a type of sauropod called a titanosaur.21

In 1971, a team from the Soviet-Mongolian expedition found the skull and jaw at Shar Tsav in Mongolia. Scientists Kurzanov and Bannikov named it Quaesitosaurus orientalis in 1983.21
Anc discutà
Scientists are not sure if Quaesitosaurus is actually the same animal as Nemegtosaurus, because both are known only from skulls and look very similar.2
