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
