"Titanosaurian #sauropods exhibit a remarkable body size disparity in the Late #Cretaceous of #SouthAmerica. Some of them were the largest #animals ever to walk the Earth. In central Patagonia, there was a coexistence of small bodied and larger bodied #titanosaurs. A new specimen, Titanomachya gimenezi, sheds light on the poorly sampled #sauropod fauna from central #Patagonia."

A new gigantic #titanosaurian #sauropod from the early Late #Cretaceous of #Patagonia https://www.app.pan.pl/article/item/app010862023.html

"Bustingorrytitan shiva has an estimated body mass of 67.3 metric tons, which makes it one of the largest #sauropod #dinosaurs ever recorded. Gigantic #titanosaurs were an important component of the Cretaceous dinosaur faunas of Patagonia, at least for almost 50 million years"
