Cetiosaurus Facts

Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Cetiosaurus: Cetiosaurus was a genus of dinosaur. "Cetiosaurus" means "whale lizard". This name was chosen by Sir Richard Owen in 1841, because he originally believed the creature to be a marine creature. Cetiosaurus was a member of the Saurischia ("lizard-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Cetiosaurus was not closely related to lizards, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones. Cetiosaurus was a Sauropod - a member of a group of related large quadrupedal herbivorous (plant-eating) dinosaur with long necks. Cetiosaurus lived between about 181 million years ago and 169 million years ago, during the Jurassic period. Cetiosaurus lived in Europe and Africa. Fossils have been found in England and Morocco. Cetiosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater). Cetiosaurus was about 59 feet (18 meters) long. Cetiosaurus weighed about 25 tons.
