Amargasaurus on the Open Savanna

The scene follows Amargasaurus walking through a broad, open landscape. Two parallel rows of elongated neck spines give this long-necked dinosaur its distinctive appearance as it moves across the savanna.

What the Neck Spines May Have Done

The tall paired structures were extensions of the neck vertebrae. Scientists have proposed that they supported keratin coverings, helped with display, offered some protection, or carried a skin structure. Fossils do not yet reveal their precise appearance or function.

Plausible Natural Colors

  • Amargasaurus skin: unknown; dusty brown, muted green, tan, or gray are believable possibilities
  • Neck spines: unknown; they could match the body or appear in darker brown or reddish display colors
  • Underside: pale beige, light gray, or a softer version of the body color
  • Eyes: brown, amber, or dark gold
  • Savanna ground: straw yellow, ocher, dusty tan, or earthy brown
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

What kind of dinosaur was Amargasaurus?
It was a sauropod, belonging to the family of long-necked, plant-eating dinosaurs. It was more compact than some of the enormous sauropods familiar from museums.
Did Amargasaurus have a sail on its neck?
That is uncertain. Some reconstructions connect the spines with skin, while others show them as separately covered structures.
What did Amargasaurus eat?
It ate plants. Its long neck could help it reach vegetation across a wider area without moving its whole body each time.
