Description
Amargasaurus cazaui - Sauropodomorph with neck spikes
Temporal range: Early Cretaceous, Hauterivian-Barremian, ~130-125 Ma
Probable length: ~9-10 metres
Probable mass: ~2.5-3 tonnes
Etymology: Cazau's bitter reptile
Amargasaurus cazaui is a genus of small sauropodomorph dinosaur, a dicraeosaurid, from the Early Cretaceous of South America. Its most distinctive feature is its tall neck spines.
The function of those spines is a matter up for debate. A defensive function, similar to that of a small African primate called the potto, is entirely possible. The skull likely had a broad horse-like snout equipped with pencil-like teeth, based on relatives with more complete skulls.

Pretty creative colours I'd say.
