Ammosaurus was once called Yaleosaurus, named after the famous Yale University.4

Some scientists think Ammosaurus might actually be the same dinosaur as Anchisaurus, just a larger individual.2

Fossils of Ammosaurus were found in a bridge abutment in Connecticut, USA, when the bridge was demolished in 1969.2

Ammosaurus lived in a dry environment with strong wet and dry seasons, like a desert today.2

Its spoon-shaped teeth were perfect for ripping plants, and it had fewer teeth than many other prosauropods.2
