Metatetrapous valdensis

† Pakisaurus balochistani was a titanosaur sauropod from the Late Cretaceous Pab Formation of Pakistan. One of the last surviving sauropods before the end-Cretaceous extinction, it inhabited the region that would become Pakistan as the Indian subcontinent was colliding with Asia.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Metatetrapous valdensis was a plant-eating dinosaur. Herbivores typically fed on ferns, cycads, conifers, and other vegetation available during their era. Many herbivorous dinosaurs developed specialized teeth and digestive systems for processing tough plant material.

Time Period

Cretaceous Early Mesozoic Era

Metatetrapous valdensis lived during the Cretaceous Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 145,0 to 100,5 million years ago.

The Cretaceous saw continued dinosaur evolution with the rise of ornithopods and early ceratopsians. Flowering plants first appeared and began to transform terrestrial ecosystems. Spinosaurus and other large theropods lived during this time.
