Vulcanodon beneath an extinct volcano
The scene presents Vulcanodon feeding on young shoots near the base of an old volcano. This early relative of later sauropods had a long neck and tail, a small head, and a body supported by four legs. Its feeding activity highlights the plant-based diet associated with the sauropod branch of the dinosaur family tree.
New growth on volcanic ground
Weathered volcanic material can contribute minerals to soil, allowing plants to grow around volcanoes once conditions are stable. Young shoots are soft new plant growth and are often easier for a plant-eating animal to bite than tough, mature stems. An extinct volcano is one that scientists do not expect to erupt again, although determining that status requires studying its history and geology.
Natural colors of Vulcanodon and its surroundings
