Living Large: The Paleobiology of Sauropod Dinosaurs

Presented by: Jeff Wilson Mantilla
Professor, Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences
Curator, Museum of Paleontology
Sauropod dinosaurs predominated in terrestrial ecosystems during 160 million years of Earth history. They reached estimated lengths of 49 meters and weights of 57 metric tons. Although large body size is often advantageous it also brings consequences. By analyzing food processing, food acquisition, and body support and locomotion of these dinosaurs, Jeff Wilson Mantilla will explore solutions to these size-related limitations
This event is geared toward an adult audience.
