Abros

Abros, also known as Abrosaurus, is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now China. The name "Abrosaurus" means "delicate lizard," referring to its relatively slender build compared to other titanosaurs.

The type species, Abrosaurus retusus, was described by Dong Zhiming in 1975. The only known fossil remains consist of a partial skeleton, including vertebrae, ribs, and limb bones. These fossils were discovered in the Dashanpu Formation of Sichuan Province.

Abrosaurus was a herbivore, likely feeding on low-lying vegetation. As a sauropod, it would have possessed a long neck and tail, a large body, and four sturdy legs. Its exact size is difficult to determine due to the incomplete nature of the fossils, but it is estimated to have been a medium-sized sauropod.

The discovery of Abrosaurus contributes to our understanding of sauropod diversity in Asia during the Late Cretaceous. Its classification within the titanosauria group places it among a widespread and successful lineage of long-necked, herbivorous dinosaurs. Further fossil discoveries would be needed to provide a more complete picture of Abrosaurus and its place in the prehistoric ecosystem.
