Erketu - Meaning:Tengri (a Mongolian creator-god)

Erketu (er-kee-tu) is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous. It was a sauropod with an "extremely long neck". Its fossils were found in Mongolia.

Its neck was estimated to be twice as long as its body, which may be a record for neck to body ratio. The total length it could grow was around 15 metres long in total.

The exact ratio is unknown, because no dorsal vertebrae of Erketu have been reported, although some hindlimb material suggests the approximate size of the body. The long neck of Erketu is the result of the individual vertebrae being greatly elongated; it is unknown if the number of cervical vertebrae was increased.

Erketu was a herbivorous Dinosaur.
