Glacialisaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Glacialisaurus lived in Jurassic Antarctica when the continent had a considerably warmer climate and environments capable of supporting vegetation. As an early sauropodomorph it probably ate plants.

The species was described in 2007 from Hanson Formation material. Preserved bones represent only a small part of the animal, so many elements of a complete reconstruction require comparisons with relatives.

Its species name honours William Hammer.
