Prompt used to create the image

Scientifically accurate paleoart of Magnamanus, a herbivore Ornithischia dinosaur from Hauterivian–Barremian times (132.6–121.4 million years ago). Reference: Magnamanus is an extinct genus of herbivorous iguanodontian dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous in what is now Spain in the Golmayo Formation. It contains a single species, Magnamanus soriaensis. Anatomy: beaked mouth, anatomically correct posture for an ornithischian. Full body in side view, whole animal visible, standing in an Early Cretaceous landscape with conifers, cycads, ferns and rare early flowering plants, no grass. Natural history museum illustration style, realistic textures and natural daylight, muted natural colors. No text, no labels, no humans, no modern objects.

Magnamanus

Herbivore

There is no write-up for this dinosaur yet, but the scientific data below is complete.

Who lived alongside it

Dinosaurs found in the same rock formation as Magnamanus (Golmayo), so they lived in the same region at roughly the same time.

Formation data from the Paleobiology Database, counting only each genus's main formations. One formation can span hundreds of thousands to millions of years, so this doesn't mean any two of them ever met.
