Argentinosaurus (meaning "lizard from Argentina") is a genus of giant sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now Argentina.Although it is only known from fragmentary remains, Argentinosaurus is one of the largest known land animals of all time, perhaps the largest, measuring 30–35 m (98–115 ft) long and weighing 65–80 t (72–88 short tons).
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).
Argentinosaurus: 1993 Huincul Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian to Turonian) Argentina: May be the largest known dinosaur Argyrosaurus: 1893 Lago Colhué Huapí Formation (Late Cretaceous, Campanian to Maastrichtian) Argentina: Several remains were historically assigned to this genus, but only the holotype can be confidently assigned to it ...
The specimens found were remarkably complete, significantly more so than previous titanosaurs. It since been suggested that Patagotitan was not necessarily larger than Argentinosaurus and Puertasaurus. [30] In 2019, Patagotitan was estimated to have been 31 metres (102 ft) long and about 55 tonnes (121,000 lb). [31]

Dinosaur fossils are frequently found in the Huincul Formation. The titanosaurian sauropod Argentinosaurus huinculensis , one of the largest known land animals, is named after the formation. [ 2 ] Another noteworthy Huincul dinosaur is the carcharodontosaurid theropod Mapusaurus roseae , which is regarded as one of the largest known terrestrial ...
