Lepidocheirosaurus natatilis

Mergus milleneri was an extinct merganser from Quaternary Jamaica. Part of the diverse endemic Caribbean duck fauna that evolved in isolation, this merganser likely fished in rivers and coastal waters before becoming extinct following Amerindian and later European colonization.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Lepidocheirosaurus natatilis 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 Middle Mesozoic Era

Lepidocheirosaurus natatilis lived during the Jurassic Middle period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 174.7 to 161.5 million years ago.

Dinosaur diversity continued to increase, with the evolution of large sauropods and diverse theropods. Stegosaurs first appeared, and the supercontinent Pangaea was breaking apart.
