Description

•Scientific Name: Supersaurus vivianae

•Pronunciation: su-per-sore-us

•Meaning in Latin: Super lizard

•Code Name: Super

•Discovered by: J.‭ ‬A.‭ ‬Jenson, ‬1985

•Classification: Animalia, Chordata,‭ ‬Sauropsida, Reptilia, Eureptilia, Romeriida, Diapsida, Neodiapsida, Sauria, Archosauromorpha, Crocopoda, Archosauriformes, Eucrocopoda, Crurotarsi, Archosauria, Avemetatarsalia, ‬Ornithodira, Dinosauromorpha, Dinosauriformes, Dracohors, ‬Dinosauria,‭ ‬Saurischia, Sauropodomorpha‬,‭ Plateosauria, Massopoda, Sauropodiformes, Anchisauria, Sauropoda,‬ Gravisauria, Eusauropoda, Neosauropoda, Diplodocoidea, Diplodocimorpha, Flagellicaudata, Diplodocidae, Diplodocinae

•Temporal range: Late Jurassic, 153 million years ago

•Location: ‬USA,‭ ‬Colorado,‭ ‬Montrose County‭ ‬-‭ ‬Morrison Formation,‭ ‬Brushy Basin Member.‭ ‬Wyoming,‭ ‬Converse county‭ ‬-‭ ‬Morrison Formation

•Length: 33 to 34 meters (108 to 112 feet) long

•Weight: 31.8 to 36.3 tonnes (35 to 40 tons)

•Diet: Herbivore

Supersaurus had the longest neck of any dinosaur known – it stretched 15 meters (49 feet) from its shoulders to its skull, about the length of one-and-a-half double decker buses. We know this as it is one of the biggest dinosaurs to have left us a near-complete skeleton, a cast of which stands on display at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center in the USA. Standing approximately 34 meters (112 feet) long, this was an even larger relative of the better-known Diplodocus. It was discovered amid the clutter of Late Jurassic sauropod fossils at Colorado’s Dry Mesa Quarry. The site holds a notorious jumble of old bones: it is thought that a drought led thousands of dinosaurs to die of starvation, and then a flash flood washed their carcasses to this spot, where they sank into mud and became fossilised.
