Bruhathkayosaurus. Bruhathkayosaurus (/ bruːˌhæθkeɪoʊˈsɔːrəs /; meaning "huge-bodied lizard") is a controversial genus of sauropod dinosaur found in the Kallamedu Formation of India. The fragmentary remains were originally described as a theropod, but it was later determined to be a titanosaurian sauropod.
This later contributed to Carpenter 2018's estimate being smaller than expected. Thus, he estimated Maraapunisaurus at 35–40 m (115–131 ft) in length and 80–120 t (88–132 short tons) in weight. He estimates a femoral length of 3–3.5 m (9.8–11.5 ft) and a dorsal-sacral length of 7.7–9 m (25–30 ft), much longer than those of the ...
Another large but even more controversial sauropod is Bruhathkayosaurus which had a calculated weight ranging between 126–220 t (139–243 short tons) and a length of 44.1 m (145 ft) [13] [14] [15] Although the existence of this sauropod had long been dismissed as a potential fake or a misidentification of a petrified tree trunk, recent ...
The 2022 Bruhathkayosaurus paper claims that the ilium (which is the holotype specimen) likely belonged to a theropod. Because of that, Bruhathkayosaurus itself is a theropod as well and the latrge referred material isn't Bruhathkayosaurus. Diamantinasaurus ( talk) 20:58, 24 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply] Categories:
At the time, mass estimates ranged up to 180 tons, [14] which placed it in the same category as the blue whale and the equally problematic Bruhathkayosaurus. The naming of the chimeric Ultrasauros has a similarly complicated history. Ultrasaurus (with the final "u") was the original choice, and was widely used by the media after the discovery ...
This is an incomplete list that briefly describes vertebrates that were extant during the Maastrichtian, a stage of the Late Cretaceous Period which extended from 72.1 to 66 million years before present. This was the last time period in which non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs existed.
Carnosauria is an extinct group of carnivorous theropod dinosaurs that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.. While Carnosauria was historically considered largely synonymous with Allosauroidea, some recent studies have revived Carnosauria as clade including both Allosauroidea and Megalosauroidea (which is sometimes recovered as paraphyletic with respect to Allosauroidea), and thus ...
A review of sauropod fossil material from the Kallamedu Formation, including bones of the giant enigmatic titanosaur Bruhathkayosaurus, is published by Pal & Ayyasami (2022). [214] A reconstruction of the articular cartilage of the left elbow joint of Dreadnoughtus schrani is presented by Voegele et al. (2022). [215]
