''Chondrosteosaurus gigas' Owen, 1876

A long-necked sauropod dinosaur, Chondrosteosaurus was a browser, eating tough vegetation with its spoon-shaped teeth. It probably was only a visitor when it died, as there was insufficient vegetation to support a large sauropod population.

Description of Material

(Don't understand all the terminology? visit the Glossary)

Chondrosteosaurus is known from unspecified specimens, there is a vertebra that can be used for identification. It was originally placed in the camarasauridae because of an oblique dividing lamina within the pleurocoel and the broad flat ventral surface of the centrum. However, these features are present in diplodocids, brachiosaurs and several other sauropods, so are apparently non-diagnostic.

Material is rare, so please report it if you find some...
