Some Dinosaurs Appeared to Use Only Their Front Legs

existed in the world the biggest a genus of dinosaurs SauropodsIt stood out even among dinosaur species with its physical features. In order to carry their bodies, these huge animals with various species such as Brontosaurus, Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus four pieces thick and strong leg it needs was known.

In a study published in the International Journal of Plant and Animal Traces in 2019, these giant animals were found in four, not four, two feet may have put forward, that he did not have four legs supporting data was available. New work by an American research team, this research confirmed.

It turns out that Sauropods lived only on land.

Years ago, a fossil researcher named Roland T. Bird found an unusual sight on a field in Bandera County, Texas. dinosaur tracks had detected. What makes Researcher Bird’s detection unusual is that only traces of dinosaurs remain. manus (an animal’s front leg part) was that it belonged to his limbs. Roland T. Bird described his observations in a letter published in 1940. “These tracks are undoubtedly sauropods. while swimming the traces he left” had explained.

The evolution of paleontology (fossil science) over time had determined that the Sauropods were land-dwelling, not aquatic creatures, as previously thought. Thus is the research of the fossil scientist Bird. validity had lost. To explain that only the forelimbs remain, the alternative view is that the forelimbs of animals, body weights on a certain ground, as it supports most Taller It had left a permanent mark.

“There may be only dinosaur species that walked on their forelimbs”

Signs from the manus of the Sauropods Firstly In 2007, a site called Coffee Hollow in the Glen Rose Formation, where many dinosaur footprints from around 110 million years ago are preserved. in the limestone quarry defined. These sauropoda tracks in Texas are the researchers’ arguments so far. again caused it to be reviewed.

A group of researchers from Purdue University Fort Wayne and the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences studied three different prints of the Sauropods-only manus. While researchers can’t pinpoint exactly what kind of Sauropods left only manus prints, some dinosaur species Only on the manus that you are walking stressed. To reach a clear judgment on the idea that the marks may have been due to foot pressure or left by swimming that it is impossible In order to resolve the issue, researchers to future discoveries expressed the need.
