izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Petrobrasaurus is known from a partial skeleton that includes teeth, vertebrae, ribs, leg bones, and even sternal plates.1

Its name honors the Petrobras oil company, which helped preserve fossils in the area.1

This dinosaur lived about 89 to 83 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.3

Its teeth were cylindrical and pencil-like, perfect for a plant-eating diet.1

The fossils were found near an oil well called PH 1597, in the Puesto Hernández oil field.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Petrobrasaurus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Petrobrasaurus esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

Igama lenzululwazi: Petrobrasaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Filippi et al. 20114
Iqela: Iintamo-nde
Usapho / iclade: Titanosauria4
Ukuhlelwa: Sauropodomorpha > Sauropoda > Titanosauria > Macronaria4
Ubudala bamatye: 90 ukuya ku-84 izigidi zeminyaka (Coniacian / Santonian)4
Izakhiwo zamatye: Plottier4
Amazwe: i-Argentina4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: Petrobrasaurus was named in 2011 by Leonardo Filippi and colleagues, based on a partial skeleton found in the Plottier Formation of Argentina.2 3
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly which group of titanosaurs Petrobrasaurus belongs to; some think it might be related to Lognkosauria, but it is still considered Titanosauria incertae sedis (uncertain placement).1
