Alamosaurus was named for Alamo Creek, San Juan Basin, New Mexico, where the first specimen was discovered. Alamosaurus roamed over much of southwestern North America during the latest part of the Cretaceous. It became extinct at the very end of the Mesozoic Era, during the mass extinction episode that wiped out many other species at the same time. Alamosaurus was one of the very last of the non-avian dinosaurs in Texas. Alamosaurus sanjuanensis Giant Sauropod Dinosaur
Alamosaurus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alamosaurus, (pronounced IPA: /ˌæləməˈsɔrəs/; meaning "Alamo lizard"), is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period of what is now North America. It was a large quadrupedal herbivore, up to 53 feet (16 metres) in length and up to 33 tons (30 metric tonnes) in weight. Alamosaurus, like other sauropods, had a long neck and a long tail, which may have ended in a 'whiplash' structure.
