The Giving of December. Adeopapposaurus

Initially considered to be a Southern population of Massospondylus,‭ ‬Adeopapposaurus was established as an independent genus in‭ ‬2009.‭ ‬Adeopapposaurus is an unusual sauropodomorph since it appears to have had a keratinous beak to its mouth.‭ ‬If correct,‭ ‬then this may have been a feeding specialisation for snipping off foliage from plants.
