A giant, herbivorous, or plant-eating, dinosaur, Seismosaurus inhabited western North America during the late Jurassic period, approximately 159 to 144 million years ago.

Which dinosaurs lived in which era?

Dinosaurs lived during three periods of geological time - the Triassic period (which was 252-201 million years ago), the Jurassic period (about 201-145 million years ago) and the Cretaceous period (145-66 million years ago). These three periods together make up the Mesozoic Era.

What animals lived in the Jurassic period?

The Jurassic period (199.6 million to 145.5 million years ago) was characterized by a warm, wet climate that gave rise to lush vegetation and abundant life. Many new dinosaurs emerged—in great numbers. Among them were stegosaurs, brachiosaurs, allosaurs, and many others.

Which country did diplodocus live in?

Diplodocus lived about 159 to 144 million years ago during a period of the Earth's history called the Jurassic. Remains of this dinosaur have been found in North America, especially in Colorado, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming.

Is Seismosaurus a Diplodocus?

As announced at the annual GSA conference in 2004 (and detailed in print since that time), Seismosaurus was really an especially large Diplodocus, although paleontologists have (so far) retained its amended species name to designate the dinosaur as Diplodocus hallorum.

What was the largest carnivorous dinosaur?

Spinosaurus was the biggest of all the carnivorous dinosaurs, larger than Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus. It lived during part of the Cretaceous period, about 112 million to 97 million years ago, roaming the swamps of North Africa.

What was the largest dinosaur?

Was the diplodocus a carnivore or herbivore?

One of the best-known sauropods (long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs), this genus of dinosaur lived during the late Jurassic Period, about 155.7 million to 150.8 million years ago, and primarily roamed western North America.

What are the 3 eras of dinosaurs?

The 'Age of Dinosaurs' (the Mesozoic Era) included three consecutive geologic time periods (the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Periods). Different dinosaur species lived during each of these three periods.

What was the first dinosaur?

For the past twenty years, Eoraptor has represented the beginning of the Age of Dinosaurs. This controversial little creature–found in the roughly 231-million-year-old rock of Argentina–has often been cited as the earliest known dinosaur.

Did T Rex live in Jurassic period?

tyrannosaur, any of a group of predatory dinosaurs that lived from the late Jurassic Period (about 150 million years ago) to the latest Cretaceous Period (about 65 million years ago), at which time they reached their greatest dominance. ... The best-known and largest member of the group is Tyrannosaurus rex, or T. rex.

What did the world look like during dinosaurs?

All continents during the Triassic Period were part of a single land mass called Pangaea. This meant that differences between animals or plants found in different areas were minor. The climate was relatively hot and dry, and much of the land was covered with large deserts. Unlike today, there were no polar ice caps.

What killed the dinosaurs?

For decades, the prevailing theory about the extinction of the dinosaurs was that an asteroid from the belt between Mars and Jupiter slammed into the planet, causing cataclysmic devastation that wiped out most life on the planet.
