The neck posture and feeding strategies of sauropod dinosaurs is a controversial topic. Andreas Christian and colleagues analysed the neck of M. youngi and found that when articulated in a neutral posture, the neck was almost straight, with a slight upward bend at the base and a slight downward bend towards the head. The base of the neck has ...
Earlier drafts for Jurassic Park III and Jurassic Park IV (later Jurassic World) had featured the aquatic reptile Kronosaurus. [43] [218] [219] [220] The Mosasaurus was suggested by Trevorrow, as part of a theme-park feeding show in which guests watch from bleachers as the animal leaps out of a lagoon and catches its prey: a shark hanging above ...
Sauropoda (/ s ɔː ˈ r ɒ p ə d ə /), whose members are known as sauropods (/ ˈ s ɔːr ə p ɒ d z /; [1] [2] from sauro-+ -pod, 'lizard-footed'), is a clade of saurischian ('lizard-hipped') dinosaurs. Sauropods had very long necks, long tails, small heads (relative to the rest of their body), and four thick, pillar-like legs.
Miragaia is a long-necked stegosaurid dinosaur. Its fossils have been found in Upper Jurassic rocks in Portugal (Lourinhã Formation, Sobral Unit) and possibly also Wyoming, United States (Morrison Formation). Miragaia has the longest neck known for any stegosaurian, which included at least seventeen vertebrae.
With a neck that is 15 metres long, Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum might be a record-holder, researchers said. Scientists identify dinosaur with the longest neck ever seen in an animal Skip to main ...
The genus is a member of the Diplodocinae, a subfamily of large long-necked dinosaurs with whiplike tails. Ardetosaurus represents one of many distinct sauropod taxa that coexisted in this formation. The Ardetosaurus holotype was collected in 1993 before being shipped to Switzerland, from which it was later sent to Germany, where it was damaged ...
The genus of dinosaurs lived in what is now mid-western North America, at the end of the Jurassic period. It is one of the more common dinosaur fossils found in the middle to upper Morrison Formation, between about 154 and 152 million years ago, during the late Kimmeridgian Age, [6] although it may have made it into the Tithonian.
