Dinosauropodes magrawii

†Dinosauropodes magrawii is an ichnospecies of herbivorous dinosaur tracks from the Late Cretaceous of North America. These broad tridactyl prints indicate a large ornithopod trackmaker, possibly a hadrosaur. The trackways reveal details of herbivore locomotion and habitat usage along Late Cretaceous North American shorelines and floodplains.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Dinosauropodes magrawii 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

Dinosauropodes magrawii 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.
