Sibirotitan astrosacralis

† Sibirotitan astrosacralis is the type species of Sibirotitan, named for its robust sacral vertebrae. Found in Russia, it is among the earliest titanosauriforms from Asiatic Russia and contributes to understanding sauropod diversity in Cretaceous Siberia.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Sibirotitan astrosacralis 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

Sibirotitan astrosacralis 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.
