The Bothriospondylus suffossus is the only dinosaur in the Genus Bothriospondylus, and is known from fragmentary remains discovered in Europe and other remains found in Madagascar.
The species was described by Richard Owen in 1875, and its name 'suffossus' means 'undermined' in Latin, which refers to the pleurocele of the spinal column, which are hollowed out on the sides of the vertebrae.
This sauropod had large teeth and a long tail; and its front legs were approximately as long as its back legs.
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 about 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.
