Introducing Titanomachya gimenezi https://paleonerdish.wordpress.com/2024/04/26/introducing-titanomachya-gimenezi/ paper: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08912963.2024.2332997 by @Ferwen
"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.
