Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Riojasaurus (meaning "Rioja lizard") was a herbivorous prosauropod dinosaur named after La Rioja Province in Argentina where it was found by José Bonaparte. It lived during the Late Triassic and grew to about 10 metres (33 ft) long. Riojasaurus is the only known Riojasaurid to live in South America. Riojasaurus had a heavy body, bulky legs, and a long neck and tail. Its leg bones were dense and massive for a prosauropod. By contrast, its vertebrae were lightened by hollow cavities, and unlike most prosauropods, Riojasaurus had four sacral vertebrae instead of three. It probably moved slowly on all fours and was unable to rear up on its back legs. The nearly equal length of the fore and hindlimbs is also suggestive of an obligatorily quadrupedal gait.
