1. Title: Worn-Out Choppers: A Glimpse into Pelorosaurus' Herbivorous Past 2.. This photograph features the robust and well-worn teeth of a Pelorosaurus, an herbivorous sauropod dinosaur that once roamed the European continent during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 130 to 112 million years ago. The Pelorosaurus was a member of the Brachiosauridae family, known for its long neck and four sturdy limbs. The teeth in this image display an intriguing anatomical detail: the outer enamel has been worn away, revealing the underlying dentin. This wear pattern is a testament to the constant chopping motion the Pelorosaurus employed to shear through the tough plant material that formed its diet. The Pelorosaurus, like many other sauropods, was part of the larger group of Archosauria, which also includes crocodiles and birds. This group, in turn, is part of the larger Diapsida, a diverse clade that includes all reptiles and their extinct relatives. The Pelorosaurus' fossilized remains provide valuable insights into the anatomy and behavior of these ancient creatures, contributing to our ongoing fascination with the Mesozoic Era and the rich tapestry of life it once held. This photograph, captured from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the prehistoric world and appreciate the remarkable adaptations that enabled the Pelorosaurus and its kin to thrive in the Cretaceous period.
