Life restoration of Massospondylus

Massospondylus is a genus of sauropodomorph dinosaur that lived in southern Africa during the Early Jurassic, between 201 and 184 million years ago. It was described by Richard Owen in 1854 and is one of the first dinosaurs to have been named. Although the original fossils were destroyed in London during a bombing raid in World War II, a plethora of specimens have since been assigned to the genus, making it one of the best-known sauropodomorphs from the Early Jurassic. The genus contains two valid species, M. carinatus and M. kaalae. It was 4 to 6 metres (13 to 20 ft) long, with a long neck and tail, a small head, and a slender body. It moved on two legs and was probably a plant-eater. Clutches of eggs have been found, some of which contained embryos. Individuals accelerated or slowed down their growth depending on environmental factors such as food availability. The oldest known specimen was around 20 years of age. (Full article...)
