Ingentia prima shows that gigantism in dinosaurs already began in the Triassic period
An article published in the journal “Nature Ecology & Evolution” describes the discovery of a sauropod dinosaur, a herbivore of the long-necked type dating back to the Late Triassic period. Named Ingentia prima by the team led by Dr. Cecilia Apaldetti of the Instituto y Museo de Ciencias Naturales in San Juan, Argentina, it was a giant herbivore that lived in today’s South America about 205 million years ago, 25 million earlier than thought.
