Hypselosaurus

Hypselosaurus(meaning 'highest lizard') is a dubious genus oftitanosauriansauropodthat lived in southernFranceduring the LateCretaceous, approximately 70 million years ago in the earlyMaastrichtian.Hypselosauruswas first described in 1846, but was not formally named until 1869, when Phillip Matheron named it under the binomialHypselosaurus priscus. Theholotypespecimen includes a partial hindlimb and a pair ofcaudal vertebrae, and two eggshell fragments were found alongside these bones. Because of the proximity of these eggshells to the fossil remains, many later authors, including Matheron and Paul Gervais, have assigned several eggs from the same region of France all toHypselosaurus, although the variation and differences between these eggs suggest that they do not all belong to the same taxon.Hypselosaurushas been found in the same formation as the dromaeosauridsVariraptorandPyroraptor, theornithopodRhabdodon, and theankylosaurianRhodanosaurus, as well as indeterminate bones from other groups.

Hypselosauruswas a proposed to be 49ft in length, when it was considered a crocodilian, which would have made it one of the largest of the group.However, a modern estimate as a titanosaur has putHypselosaurusat around 39.4ft, with a very rough weight estimate of 8–16 tons).One of the smaller titanosaurs,Neuquensaurus, measures only 25ft long.
