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 ...
At 40 centimetres (16 in) long, the skull of Lishulong is larger than any other sauropodomorph from the Lufeng Formation. The cervical vertebrae are very large and elongated; the centrum of the first preserved cervical vertebra (the axis) is 16.3 centimetres (6.4 in) long, and the centrum of the last preserved cervical vertebra (the tenth consecutive bone in the series) is 19.9 centimetres (7. ...
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 neck, of which all 18 vertebrae are present, is nearly 15 meters long and is the longest complete neck ever discovered of any animal. [2] The vertebral column is overall among the most complete of any sauropod specimen from Asia. [1] The cervical [1] and dorsal vertebrae [3] have been described in detail.
May have had the longest neck of any dinosaur relative to its body Erliansaurus: 2002 Iren Dabasu Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian) China: Had long, curved claws on its fingers Erlikosaurus: 1980 Bayan Shireh Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian to Santonian) Mongolia: Preserves the most complete skull known from any therizinosaur ...
Feast your eyes on China's "dragon" dinosaur. It roamed the earth 160 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period. ... The dinosaur was 50 feet long with a neck length of around 25 feet -- half ...
A mamenchisaurid with a remarkably long neck which made up half the total body length. [2] It is one of the largest dinosaurs known, measuring 35 meters (115 feet) in length with an 18-meter-long (59 feet) neck. Tienshanosaurus: T. chitaiensis: Upper "Partial postcranial skeleton." [13] A mamenchisaurid known from very few remains. [2]
The neck of Tanystropheus was composed of 13 elongated neck vertebrae, [14] whereas the neck of Dinocephalosaurus was composed of at least 27 neck vertebrae that were not as elongated. Among the 27 vertebrae of Dinocephalosaurus , the longest was the nineteenth, which measured approximately 91 mm (3.6 in) long.
