Oblitosaurus bunnueli

† Oblitosaurus bunnueli is a Late Jurassic stegosaurid from the Iberian Peninsula of Spain. Known from vertebral material, it represents stegosaur diversity in Late Jurassic Europe and adds to the poorly known Iberian dinosaur fauna.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Oblitosaurus bunnueli 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

Jurassic Late Mesozoic Era

Oblitosaurus bunnueli lived during the Jurassic Late period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 161.5 to 145.0 million years ago.

One of the most iconic periods for dinosaurs. Giant sauropods like Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus roamed alongside predators like Allosaurus. Archaeopteryx, the earliest known bird, appeared. The Morrison Formation preserves an extraordinary fossil record from this time.
