Lavocatisaurus agrioensis

† Mendozasaurus neguyelap was a massive titanosaur sauropod from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina. Found in Mendoza Province, it was a large herbivore in the diverse Patagonian fauna, contributing to understanding of titanosaur diversity in South America.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Lavocatisaurus agrioensis 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

Lavocatisaurus agrioensis 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.
