It was much smaller than its fellow sauropods. It had a small, long head with a blunt snout and spoon-shaped teeth. Its neck and tail were shorter than most other sauropods. It had thick legs with five-toed feet; the inner toe had a long, sharp claw for protection. The front legs were only a bit shorter than its back legs, making its back almost level to the ground. Its name, "chambered lizard," comes from the holes in its vertebrae that decrease its weight. |
