Mongolosaurus was a long-necked sauropod that lived in what is now Inner Mongolia, China. It munched on plants and walked on four sturdy legs. Scientists know it from just a few bones, so it is still a bit mysterious.41

Fakte argëtuese
Mongolosaurus was named in 1933 by paleontologist Charles W. Gilmore based on a few bones and teeth found in the On Gong Formation.1
Its teeth were very different from other sauropods, which is why scientists gave it its own genus.1
Mongolosaurus lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 121 to 100 million years ago.2
Some scientists think Mongolosaurus might be a titanosaur, a group of huge sauropods, but others are not sure.2
It is the only dinosaur known from the On Gong Formation in Inner Mongolia.1
