Andesaurus

Andesaurus lived in the middle of the Crétacé (Cénomanien, 99,6 to 93,5 million years) in South America.

Like many Sauropode S, it had a small head at the end of a long neck and also a long tail.

He was discovered in 1987. In 1991, the paleontologists Jorge Calvo and Jose Bonaparte named Andesaurus, in reference to the assembly line of the Andes and the Greek word “sauros” which means lizard.

These fossils were discovered in the Formation of Candeleros, the oldest formation in the Group Neuquén of the Province of Neuquén in Argentina.
