<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="mussaurus-patagonicus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Mussaurus patagonicus is an Early Jurassic sauropodiform from Patagonia, Argentina. Known from hatchlings and adults, adults may have reached ~6 m and ~1,500 kg. Herd behavior is suggested by mass nursery assemblages.
Time Period
Mussaurus patagonicus lived during the Jurassic Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 201,4 to 174,7 million years ago.
After the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, dinosaurs rapidly diversified and became the dominant land vertebrates. Early sauropods and theropods began to evolve larger body sizes.
