Plateosauravus

ትርጉም ስሙ: “grandfather of Plateosaurus”1

Plateosauravus was an early long-necked plant eater that lived in South Africa during the Late Triassic. It walked on two legs but could probably drop to all fours to feed. It is one of the oldest known members of the group that later gave rise to the giant sauropods.1 6

ደስ ዝብሉ ሓቅታት

Plateosauravus was named in 1932 by Friedrich von Huene, who realized it was different from Plateosaurus.1 6

Its name means 'grandfather of Plateosaurus', because it lived earlier and was more primitive.1

More than a dozen partial skeletons have been found in Kruger National Park since 1995, including some from young animals.1

Scientists used to call it Euskelosaurus, but that name is now considered doubtful because the original fossils are too incomplete.1

It lived between about 227 and 201 million years ago, during the Norian and Rhaetian ages.2

The first fossil was found by T.L. Cullingworth, and the species name cullingworthi honors him.1

ብዛዕባ Plateosauravus ብብዝሒ ዝሕተቱ ሕቶታት

?How big was Plateosauravus?

It was moderately large, with a femur (thigh bone) at least 545 mm (about 0.55 metres) long. That suggests it was about the size of a large cow, though no complete skeleton has been found to give an exact length.4

?What did Plateosauravus eat?

It was a plant eater. As an early long-necked sauropodomorph, it ate ferns and other plants that grew in the Late Triassic.5

?When did Plateosauravus live?

It lived during the Late Triassic, between about 227 and 201 million years ago, in the Norian and Rhaetian ages.5 6

?Is Plateosauravus a dinosaur?

Yes, it is a dinosaur. It belongs to the group Sauropodomorpha, which includes the long-necked dinosaurs that later gave rise to giant sauropods.5 6

ጽውጽዋይ ዘፍርስ

ጽውጽዋይ: Plateosauravus is the same as Euskelosaurus.

ሓቂ: Many scientists once thought so, but Euskelosaurus is now considered a nomen dubium (a doubtful name) because its fossils are too poor. Plateosauravus is used instead.1
