New Cretaceous Sauropod Found



It's interesting to note that the impression of the different periods for the Mesozoic is based on the dinosaurs that lived there. The Triassic has Coelophysis. The Jurassic is often painted as the era of the sauropods. The Cretaceous is often painted as the era of the duckbills and T Rex. Interestingly, that's not really accurate. it seems in the southern hemisphere that the Sauropods lived on as the main source of herbivores long after whatever did them in for the northern hemisphere.
