Dintlha tse monate
Macroplata had a long neck that was twice the length of its skull.1

The only known fossil of Macroplata is a nearly complete skeleton found by workmen in a cement quarry.2
Macroplata had six teeth in each premaxilla, the front part of the upper jaw.2
It lived about 199 to 195 million years ago during the Early Jurassic.1
