Titanosaurus, literally meaning 'titanic lizard', was named after the mythological Titans. Titanosaurus was the first Indian dinosaur to be named and properly described, having been recorded for the first time in 1877. The type species, T. indicus, was named in 1877, [1] [3] and the second species, T. blanfordi, was named in 1879. [4]
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).

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. Preliminary studies and press releases suggested that Patagotitan was the largest known titanosaur and land animal overall, with an estimated ...
Triunfosaurus can be distinguished from other titanosaurs by two autapomorphies, or unique traits that distinguish it from other titanosaurs.Namely, the part of the ischium touching the pubis is half the height of the entire ischium, and the shaft of the ischium makes an angle of less than 70° with the acetabular portion, which contributes to the hip socket.
Titanomachya is a small titanosaur, with an estimated length of 6 metres (20 ft). [2] It probably weighed between 5.8 and 9.8 tonnes (6.4 and 10.8 short tons), with a mean body mass of 7.8 tonnes (8.6 short tons).
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 ...
