Medium-sized member of the family of prosauropods, this primitive herbivore was characterized by having a small head, a long neck and a large body.
Discovered in a quarry in Connecticut in the late 1800s, only the posterior half of the specimen was rescued by Othniel Charles Marsh. the front half had already been cut into blocks to build a bridge near South Manchester.
In 1969 more parts of the Ammosaurus were discovered, when a nearby sandstone bridge was demolished.

After studying History at the University and after many previous tests, Red Historia was born, a project that emerged as a means of dissemination where you can find the most important news of archeology, history and humanities, as well as articles of interest, curiosities and much more. In short, a meeting point for everyone where they can share information and continue learning.
