    The last of the oldies: a basal rebbachisaurid (#Sauropoda, Diplodocoidea) from the early Late #Cretaceous (#Cenomanian#Turonian) of #Patagonia, #Argentina tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10

    "The presence of an early species at Cenomanian-Turonian times, so close to the #extinction of the group, implies that the evolutionary history of #Rebbachisauridae was more complex than previously thought"

    A new gigant #titanosaur (Dinosauria, #Sauropoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of Northwestern #Patagonia, #Argentina sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    #Titanosaurs were the most diverse and abundant terrestrial #herbivores in the Southern Hemisphere landmasses during the Late #Cretaceous. Their high diversity rivals that of the hadrosaurid and ceratopsid #ornithischians of northern hemisphere ecosystems at the same time.

  3. Maraapunisaurus fragillimus dorsal vertebra restored (est. maximum height ~255 cm), with the special addition of a modified version of the actual specimen on the right.
