2024年3月26日 · Dicraeosaurus, often overshadowed by its larger Sauropod relatives, holds its own place in the annals of paleontological discoveries. With a charm distinct from the more colossal dinosaurs, it offers insights into the varied forms and adaptations of Sauropods during the Late Jurassic Period.

This dinosaur is named 'forked lizard' because of the forked spines in its backbone. What on Earth? Explore Dicraeosaurus, a plant-eating sauropod dinosaur in the Dino Directory.

2023年11月2日 · Dicraeosaurus was a sauropod dinosaur that lived in Tanzania during the Late Jurassic period, about 150 million years ago. It was one of the first dinosaurs scientifically investigated from Africa, and had a relatively complete skull. It had a tall crest on its neck that formed a rough “Y” shape.

2023年2月14日 · Dicraeosaurus was a long-necked herbivorous dinosaur that could grow up to 50 feet in length and weighed up to 10 tons. It had a relatively short neck compared to other sauropods, but it was still very long and flexible, allowing the dinosaur to reach vegetation that was high off the ground.

Dicraeosaurus was a sauropod (a “long-necked” dinosaur) in the family Dicraeosauridae, which was in turn in the superfamily Diplodocoidea, making it a distant cousin of much larger and longer sauropods like Diplodocus and Apatosaurus!

2018年1月2日 · Palaeontologists discovered Dicraeosaurus over 100 years ago, but questions about these sauropod dinosaurs remain. Researchers at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin investigate the most complete skeleton find.

Dicraeosauridae is a family of diplodocoid sauropods who are the sister group to Diplodocidae. Dicraeosaurids are a part of the Flagellicaudata, along with Diplodocidae. Dicraeosauridae includes genera such as Amargasaurus, Suuwassea, Dicraeosaurus, and Brachytrachelopan.

2013年8月6日 · Dicraeosaurus was relatively small by sauropod standards,‭ ‬but was still a bit larger than Amargasaurus,‭ ‬so far the only other known member of its group.‭ ‬Dicraeosaurus sported a double row of spines down its back that‭ ‬are‭ ‬similar to those seen on the back of Amargasaurus.‭ ‬We cannot be certain what these spike ...

Dicraeosaurus was a small sauropod that had some physical differences from the rest of the family. It was named for the spines on the back of the neck. In general, sauropods had long necks and tails, skinny bodies and limbs, and tiny brains and heads.

Dicraeosaurus (Gr. dikraios, dikraios "bifurcated, double-headed" + Gr. sauros, sauros "lizard") is a genus of small diplodocoid sauropod dinosaur. It was named for the spines on the back of the neck. The first fossil was described by paleontologist Werner Janensch in 1914.
