† Isisaurus — a Late Cretaceous titanosaur sauropod from India. Large herbivore; formerly classified as Titanosaurus colberti. Named for the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI). From the Lameta Formation. One of the better-known Indian titanosaurs, contributing to understanding the rich Late Cretac.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Isisaurus 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 Late Mesozoic Era

Isisaurus lived during the Cretaceous Late period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 100.5 to 66.0 million years ago.

The final age of dinosaurs, featuring iconic species like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Velociraptor. Dinosaurs reached their peak diversity before the catastrophic asteroid impact at the Chicxulub crater ended the Mesozoic Era.
