Titanosauria have the largest range of body size of any sauropod clade, and includes both the largest known sauropods and some of the smallest. [25] One of the largest titanosaurs, Patagotitan, had a body mass estimated to be 69 tonnes (76 tons), whereas one of the smallest, Magyarosaurus, had a body mass of approximately 900 kilograms (2,000 lb).
A new species of dinosaur has been identified more than a decade after a large number of ancient skeletons were found in Spain -- and researchers expect more species to be discovered.
The latter is closely related to Gondwanan titanosaurs and does not show reduced growth rate or reduced body size, two common traits found in pre-turnover titanosaurs assemblages. It belongs to a distinct immigrant clade of large titanosaurs that reached the Ibero–Armorican island during the early Maastrichtian, being a member of the post ...
In 2024, Pereira et al. described Tiamat valdecii as a new genus and species of basal titanosaur based on these fossil remains. The generic name , Tiamat , references Tiamat —the serpentine or draconic goddess of Sumerian and Babylonian mythology —who traditionally represents the mother of mythical beings, hinting at the basal phylogenetic ...
A nearly complete and intact dinosaur skeleton has been excavated in France. The specimen is a Titanosaur, one of the largest dinosaurs of its time. 70 million-year-old giant dinosaur skeleton ...
Patagotitan mayorum, another titanosaur found in the same region, had an estimated length of about 130 feet, researchers said in a CONICET news release, and may have weighed as much as 70 tons, a ...
Patagotitan is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Cerro Barcino Formation in Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina.The genus contains a single species known from at least six young adult individuals, Patagotitan mayorum, which was first announced in 2014 and then named in 2017 by José Carballido and colleagues.
Nicknamed “Qunka,” the species is a medium-to-large-sized titanosaur, reaching nearly 50 feet long and weighing more than 10 tons. The distance from its shoulder to its foot was around 10 feet.
