In Depth
Narindasaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived in Madagascar during the mid Jurassic. Fossils of this dinosaur were first discovered in 1906, but were not given their own distinct genus till 2020. Before that time they had still been studied, with growth ring analysis suggesting that this sauropod dinosaur did not become sexually mature (able to reproduce) until somewhere between thirty-one and forty-five years of age.
