Abydosaurus

ትርጉም ስሙ: “Abydos lizard, after the Egyptian city where the god Osiris' head and neck were buried”1 2

Abydosaurus was a huge, long-necked plant-eater that lived about 104 million years ago. It is special because scientists found its complete skull, which is very rare for sauropods. This dinosaur had narrow teeth, unlike its wider-toothed relative Brachiosaurus.2 1

Abydosaurus is one of the few sauropods known from a complete skull. Sauropod skulls are very rare because they are small and fragile.2

Its skull was tiny compared to its body, only about 1/200th of its total volume. That is like a pea on a giant pumpkin.2

Abydosaurus lived about 104 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.2 1

It had narrow teeth, unlike its relative Brachiosaurus which had broad teeth. This change happened over millions of years.2

The name Abydosaurus comes from the Egyptian city Abydos, where the god Osiris' head and neck were buried. The dinosaur's skull and neck were found together.1 2

Fossils of four different Abydosaurus individuals were found in the same quarry, including three partial skulls.2

ጽውጽዋይ ዘፍርስ

ጽውጽዋይ: Some people think all sauropods had wide, spoon-shaped teeth like Brachiosaurus.

ሓቂ: Abydosaurus had narrow teeth, showing that some sauropods evolved different tooth shapes for different diets.2
