disquietus

Disquietus is a species of extinct herbivorous sauropod dinosaur from what is now South America. Fossil remains of Disquietus have been found in the Jagua Formation, a geological formation in the province of Neuquén, Argentina. The fossil record indicates that Disquitetus existed during the Late Triassic period, approximately 230-220 million years ago.

Only a few fossil specimens of Disquietus have been discovered to date, and they primarily consist of vertebrae and limb bones. The available evidence suggests that Disquietus was a relatively small to medium-sized sauropod, measuring around 6-8 meters in length. The exact relationships of Disquietus to other sauropod families are not well established, although some research suggests that it may have been a representative of the Eusauropoda clade.

Disquietus likely lived in a humid, subtropical environment during the Late Triassic, with fossil evidence suggesting the presence of rivers, lakes, and terrestrial vegetation. Its diet likely consisted of low-growing plant material, such as ferns and coniferous trees. The phylogenetic relationships of Disquietus and its relationships to other sauropods remain areas of ongoing research and debate among paleontologists.

Current estimates suggest that Disquietus is closely related to another Triassic sauropod, L appetitin polymorphus. Future discoveries and analysis of additional fossil material are needed to clarify the relationships of Disquietus with other sauropod species. The fossil remains of Disquietus have contributed to our understanding of the diversity of sauropods during the Triassic period, and its study continues to provide insights into the evolution of this group of dinosaurs.
