Nicksaurus lived during the latest part of the Cretaceous Period, about 66 million years ago.1

Its fossils were found in the Vitakri Formation, a rock layer in the Sulaiman Basin of Pakistan.1

The name Nicksaurus honors British journalist Nick Allen, who helped save dinosaur footprints in Pakistan.1

Nicksaurus had a medium-sized body for a sauropod, but scientists are not sure exactly how big it was.1

Its tail bones were procoelous, meaning they were hollowed out on one side like a cup.1

Nicksaurus shared its home with other titanosaurs like Gspsaurus, Saraikimasoom, and Pakisaurus.3
