CollectA: Igentia Prima

**CollectA: Igentia Prima **

Ingentia prima (In-gen-tea-ah pre-ma) – One of the first, really bigdinosaurs to evolve. This herbivorous dinosaur roamed northwestern Argentina inthe Late Triassic. Measuring around 10 metres in length and estimated to haveweighed 10 tonnes Ingentia demonstrates that the first giant dinosaurs evolvedsome 35 million years earlier than previously thought.

It was named and scientifically described in 2018. Its fossilised remainsrevealed that these animals grew rapidly and that they possessed an extremelyefficient bird-like respiratory system. Although Ingentia bones demonstrateseveral adaptations to gigantism, it still lacks many of the anatomical featuresassociated with the distantly related Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus. For example,its legs were more bent and not the huge, weight-bearing columns associated withthe later Jurassic sauropods.
