Massospondylus Facts

Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Massospondylus: Massospondylus was a genus of dinosaur. "Massospondylus" means "longer vertebra". This name was chosen by Sir Richard Owen in 1854. Massospondylus was a member of the Saurischia ("lizard-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Massospondylus was not closely related to lizards, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones. Massospondylus was a Prosauropod - a member of a group of related early herbivorous (plant-eating) dinosaurs which had long necks, small heads, shorter forelimbs than hind limbs, and a thumb claw. Massospondylus lived between about 208 million years ago and 204 million years ago, during the late Jurassic period. Massospondylus lived in North America and Southern Africa. Massospondylus was a herbivore (plant-eater). Massospondylus is thought to have swallowed stones which would have been used to help grind up tough plant material (some modern birds do the same thing). Fossils of these stones ("gastroliths") have been found in the same rocks as Massospondylus. Massospondylus was about 13 feet (4 meters) long. Massospondylus weighed about 1.5 tons.
