Isanosaurus attavipachi

† Isanosaurus attavipachi — an Early Jurassic basal sauropod from Thailand. Medium to large herbivore; one of the oldest sauropods known from Southeast Asia. From the Nam Phong Formation. Named for the Isan region of Thailand. Contributes to understanding early sauropod evolution and distribution .

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Isanosaurus attavipachi 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 Early Mesozoic Era

Isanosaurus attavipachi 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.
