Comments

Vulcanodon (co oznacza "ząb wulkanu") to wymarły rodzaj dinozaura zauropodowego z wczesnej jury południowej Afryki. Nazwa Vulcanodon pochodzi od łacińskiego Vulcanus - rzymskiego boga ognia; greckiego odon - "ząb". Jedynym znanym gatunkiem jest Vulcanodon karibaensis. Odkryty w 1969 roku w Rodezji (obecnie Zimbabwe), przez dziesięciolecia był uważany za najwcześniejszego znanego zauropoda i nadal jest jednym z najbardziej prymitywnych zauropodów, jakie odkryto. W 2010 r. Gregory S. Paul oszacował jego długość na 11 metrów, a wagę na 3,5 tony. Vulcanodon jest znany tylko z jednego stanowiska na wyspie na jeziorze Kariba, największym sztucznym jeziorze na świecie, w północnym Zimbabwe (dawniej Rodezja). Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Vulcanodon (meaning "volcano tooth") is an extinct genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Early Jurassic of southern Africa. The name Vulcanodon comes from latin Vulcanus – Roman god of fire; greek odon – "tooth". The only known species is Vulcanodon karibaensis. Discovered in 1969 in Rhodesia (now known as Zimbabwe), it was regarded as the earliest known sauropod for decades, and is still one of the most primitive sauropods that has been discovered. In 2010, Gregory S. Paul estimated its length at eleven metres, its weight at 3.5 tonnes. Vulcanodon is known only from a single locality on an island in Lake Kariba, the largest artificial lake in the world, in northern Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia).
