Titanosaur

Titanosaur, adiversegroup ofsauropoddinosaursclassified in the clade Titanosauria, which lived from the LateJurassic Epoch(163.5 million to 145 million years ago) to the end of theCretaceous Period(145 million to 66 million years ago). Titanosaurfossilshave been found on allcontinentsexceptAntarcticaand include some 40species. The group contains the largest terrestrialanimalsknown.

Like other sauropods, titanosaurs were herbivorous quadrupeds with longtails, long necks, and small heads. They differed from other sauropods, however, in that the titanosaurs’ bodies were stockier and their limbs produced a wider stance than other sauropods. Titanosaurs also possessedvertebraewith a honeycomb-like internal structure and six sacral vertebrae, but they lacked the hyposphene-hypantrum joints (which connected one vertebra to another) in their dorsal vertebrae. In addition, some titanosaurs, such asRapetosaurusandSaltasaurus, have been shown to have possessed osteoderms (armoured plates).

Titanosaur size varied greatly. One of the smallest forms,Neuquensaurus, whose size was estimated from only a few bones, grew to a length of about 23 feet and a weight of approximately 11 tons. The most complete set of remains, however, belongs toDreadnoughtusand includes approximately 70 percent of thedinosaur’sskeleton behind its head. The finding of such complete remains allowed paleontologists to make confident estimates of the dinosaur’s length and weight. Although other titanosaurs (such asPatagotitanandArgentinosaurus, whose weights have been estimated at 63.5 metric tons [70 tons] and 70 metric tons [77 tons], respectively) have been conjectured to have been larger thanDreadnoughtus, which was about 85 feet long and weighed 65 tons,Dreadnoughtuswas the largest titanosaur whose size can be calculated accurately and was also the largest known landanimalinEarth’s history.
