Isisaurus

Isisaurus was a large titanosaur sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, approximately 70–66 million years ago. It was discovered in India, with fossils found in the Lameta Formation, a famous fossil site that has produced many Late Cretaceous dinosaurs.

Isisaurus had the typical body structure of titanosaurs, including a long neck, long tail, small head, and massive column-like legs. However, it had an unusual proportion compared with many other sauropods, with a relatively short neck and a more upright posture. Its neck vertebrae and strong front limbs suggest it may have held its neck higher than many other sauropods.

As a herbivore, Isisaurus likely fed on a variety of vegetation, using its long neck to reach plants and browse over large areas. It reached an estimated length of around 18 meters (59 feet) and weighed several tonnes.

Isisaurus lived in India when the Indian subcontinent was an isolated landmass moving toward Asia. It shared its environment with other Late Cretaceous animals, including the abelisaurid predator Rajasaurus.
