Fossil remains for this Dinosaur have been found in Asia
Quaesitosaurus was a
very large plant-eating,
long-necked dinosaur
from Asia. Since only
part of the skull has
been found, very little
is known about exactly
how big this animal was,
or exactly what it
looked like.
With such little fossil material
with which to work, there has been a
great deal of speculation about
Quaesitosaurus. It has been
variously classified under two
different families - diplodocids and
titanosaurs. Some scientists believe
that its mouth design suggests that
it ate mostly soft water plants and
have even suggested the animal
itself would have lived in the water
a great deal of the time. |
