Description

A fictional sauropod from vasix. He got the idea for this dinosaur, from my Montanaspinus painting, but again, this is totally speculative.

"Gabrieliglesia brevicaudata (Gabriel Iglesias' short-tailed one, named for its "fatness") is an aberrant (short-legged, short-bodied) advanced titanosaur (Saltasauridae?) from the uppermost Hell Creek Formation, 66 million years ago. It is known from the holotype specimen BHI77890-formerly Alamosaurus sp-a juvenile (est. 13 m) consisting of osteoderms, fragmentary postcrania (dorsal vertebrae, D1, D3 and D4 and partial sacral and hindlimb elements) as well as a pair of older specimens found close by. The second skeletally mature adult is known from a nearly complete tail while the other is represented only by some cervical vertebrae and a chunk of neural spine. The adult specimens attest to a possible length of 21-25 meters and approximately 60 tonnes, thus making Gabrieliglesia the largest megaherbivore from the Hell Creek Formation. Shed teeth of dromaeosaurs (cf. Dakotaraptor?)and Tyrannosaurus rex in close association with the sauropods suggests that they were scavenged upon shortly after death."
