Cathartesaura anaerobica
Source: dino.wikia.com/wiki/Cathartesaura
Name: Cathartesaura anaerobica
Name Meaning: Vulture Lizard
First Described: 2005
Described By: Gallina & Apasteguía
Classification: Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Sauropodomorpha, Plateosauria, Massopoda, Sauropodiformes, Anchisauria, Sauropoda, Gravisauria, Eusauropoda, Neosauropoda, Diplodocoidea, Diplodocimorpha, Rebbachisauridae, Limaysaurinae
Okay do you realize how confusing doing this dinosaur was? I type in Cathartesaura and all the results are Cathartes aura, the genus and species name for the FREAKING TURKEY VULTURE. Which is, admittedly, a dinosaur, but NOT THE ONE I WANTED FOR TODAY. FINDING ART FO RTHIS THING WAS SO CONFUSING BECAUS I WAS SURROUNDED BY A SEA OF TURKEY VULTURE PHOTOS.
Okay, sorry. Rant over. Phew. Deep breaths.
Cathartesaura was another rebbachisaurid sauropod, found in the Huincul Formation in the La Buitrera Locality, Río Negro Province, Argentina. It is known from a partial skeleton, and it lived between the Cenomanian and Coniacian ages of the Late Cretaceous, about 100 to 86 million years ago, making it a very late surviving Diplodocoid. There was apparently an abundance of turkey vultures where it was found so that was why the name confusion had to happen apparently. It was a medium sized sauropod, with a long and lightly built neck.
