Mamenchisaurus was a plant-eating dinosaur that lived in Asia and North
America,
during the late Jurassic period,
from about 156 to 145 million years ago.
Mamenchisaurus was about 72 feet (21.9 meters) long,
and weighed around 12 tons.
The first
fossils
of Mamenchisaurus, a partially complete skeletion, were discovered in
1952
during the construction of the a road in Sichuan,
China.
This specimen was studied and named by Professor C. C. Young in
1954.
Young chose the name Mamenchisaurus constructus in honor of
the fact that the first specimen had been found on a construction site
near to the Mamingxi Ferry Crossing.
The most notable feature of Mamenchisaurus is its very long neck, the
longest neck of any known dinosaur (and in fact of any animal in history).
A second species of Mamenchisaurus, with an even longer neck than the
first species, which has been named
Mamenchisaurus hochaunensis was found in the United States in
1994.
Mamenchisaurus hochaunensis is believed to have a neck that
may have reached up to 49 feet (15 meters) in length.
Scientists generally believe that Mamenchisaurus would have reared up on its
hind legs, and used its long neck to reach foliage that was out of reach to
other dinosaurs. A replica Mamemchisaurus skeleton was displayed in this
position at the
Field Museum of Natural History in
Chicago
in
2005 to
2006.
Mamenchisaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived from 156 to 145 million years ago

More info: Sauropoda , or the sauropods , are an infraorder of saurischian ("lizard-hipped") dinosaurs. They are notable for the enormous sizes attained by some species, and the group includes the largest animals to have ever lived on land. Well-known genera include Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, and Apatosaurus (which, under current classification, is a senior synonym of Brontosaurus). Sauropods first appeared in the late Triassic Period, where they somewhat resembled the closely related (and possibly ancestral) group Prosauropoda. By the Late Jurassic (150 million years ago), sauropods were widespread (especially the diplodocids and brachiosaurids). By the Late Cretaceous, those groups had mainly been replaced by the titanosaurs, which had a near-global distribution. However, as with all other non-avian dinosaurs, the titanosaurs died out in the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event. Fossilised remains of sauropods have been found on every continent, including Antarctica. |

Extracto: Agustinia ("de Agustin Martinelli") es un género representado por una única especie de dinosaurio saurópodo titanosauriano que vivió a mediados del período Cretácico, hace aproximadamente 116 millones de años, en el Aptiano, en lo que hoy es Argentina. Fue un saurópodo armado con placas y espinas que habito junto con otros grandes herbívoros como el Ligabuesaurus y el Limaysaurus y llego a medir unos 16 metros de largo. Debido a que comparte carácteristicas con los los dipodocoides y los titanosáuridos, Bonaparte propuso una nueva familia para incluirlo llamada Agustiniidae. Este dinosaurio al igual que todos los saurópodos conocidos, era cuadrúpedo y herbívoro. A diferencia de la mayoría de sus parientes, pose... |

Forrás: Wikipedia. Oldalak: 29. Fejezetek: Prosauropodák, Sauropodák, Plateosaurus, Massospondylus, Sauropoda, Aardonyx, Prosauropoda, Mamenchisaurus, Haplocanthosaurus, Cetiosaurus, Antetonitrus, Lufengosaurus, Thecodontosaurus, Unaysaurus, Yunnanosaurus, Jobaria, Agustinia, Riojasaurus, Europasaurus, Astrodon, Massospondylidae, Shunosaurus, Glacialisaurus, Diplodocus longus, Plateosauridae, Plateosauria, Macronaria, Sauropodomorpha, Neosauropoda, Mussaurus. Idézet: A Plateosaurus (jelentése 'széles úti gyík') a plateosaurida prosauropoda dinoszauruszok egyik neme, amely a késő triász korban, körülbelül 216-199 millió évvel ezelőtt élt Európa középső és északi részén. A legutolsó vizsgálat két érvényes fajt azonosított: a késő nori alkorszak és a rhaeti korszak idején élt típusfajt, a P. engelhardtit és a valamivel korábbi, a kora nori alkorszak idején élt P. gracilist. Bár korábban több fajt is ebbe a nembe soroltak be és nincs egyetértés a plateosaurida dinoszauruszok rendszertanát illetően. Emellett a nemhez számos szinonima is kapcsolódik. Az 1834-ben Johann Friedrich Engelhardt által felfedezett és három évvel később Hermann von Meyer által leírt Plateosaurus az ötödikként elnevezett dinoszaurusznem, amely még napjainkban is érvényesnek számít. Ennek ellenére nem tartozik azon három nem közé, amelyek alapján Richard Owen 1842-ben a Dinosauria öregrendet definiálta, mivel akkoriban alig volt ismert és nehezen lehetett dinoszauruszként azonosítani. A Plateosaurus az azóta felfedezett több, mint száz, részben majdnem teljes csontváz révén az egyik legismertebb dinoszaurusszá vált. A Plateosaurus két lábon járt, hosszú, mozgékony nyakán kis koponya helyezkedett el éles, de egyenes, a növények megőrlésére használt fogai, erőteljes hátsó lábai és feltehetően védekezésre és táplálkozásra szolgáló, nagy hüvelykujj karommal ellátott, fogásra képes kezei voltak. A Plateosaurusra erősen jellemző a fejlődési plaszticitás, ami... |
