趣味知識

Dinheirosaurus is known from only one partial skeleton, including neck and back bones, ribs, and a piece of the hip bone.1

Its backbone had special extra joints, called hyposphene-hypantrum articulations, that made the spine very stiff and strong.3

Scientists think Dinheirosaurus is closely related to Supersaurus, a giant sauropod from North America.3

Unlike many of its relatives, the neural spines on Dinheirosaurus's back bones were not split into two branches.3

The fossils of Dinheirosaurus were found in rocks that were once an estuary or bay, about 152 to 149 million years ago.2

Some scientists think Dinheirosaurus might actually be a species of Supersaurus, but most still consider it a separate dinosaur.2
