Mamenchisaurus (/ m ə ˌ m ʌ n tʃ i ˈ s ɔː r ə s / mə-MUN-chee-SOR-əs, Dinosauria Translation and Pronunciation Guide M or spelling pronunciation / m ə ˌ m ɛ n tʃ ɪ ˈ s ɔː r ə s /) is a genus of sauropod dinosaur known for their remarkably long necks [2] which made up nearly half the total body length. [3]
Trevorrow said: "We made sure to give her a look and a kind of personality in the way we designed her face that recalled Stan Winston's designs for many of the other dinosaurs in this world. She looks like a Jurassic Park dinosaur". [13] Legacy Effects developed the original design and ILM refined it. The animators referenced crocodiles for the ...
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.
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.
It lends its name to the order Plesiosauria, of which it is an early, but fairly typical member. It contains only one species, the type , Plesiosaurus dolichodeirus . Other species once assigned to this genus, including P. brachypterygius , P. guilielmiimperatoris , and P. tournemirensis have been reassigned to new genera, such as Hydrorion ...
The Jurassic Park franchise focuses on genetically engineered dinosaurs running amok on an island theme park off the coast of Costa Rica. The dinosaurs are cloned by extracting ancient DNA from mosquitoes, which sucked the blood of dinosaurs and then became fossilized in amber, preserving the DNA.
James Farlow (1987) calculates that an Apatosaurus-sized dinosaur about 35 t (34 long tons; 39 short tons) would have possessed 5.7 t (5.6 long tons; 6.3 short tons) of fermentation contents, though he cautions that the regression equation being used is based on living mammals which are much smaller and physiologically different.

Brachiosaurus (/ ˌ b r æ k i ə ˈ s ɔː r ə s /) is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic, about 154 to 150 million years ago. [1] It was first described by American paleontologist Elmer S. Riggs in 1903 from fossils found in the Colorado River valley in western Colorado, United States.
