Happy #fossilfriday! 🦕
This is Patagotitan mayorum, one of the largest animals to ever walk the Earth, towering over a crowd of visitors at London’s Natural History Museum. This 2.76 tonne cast of the fossils discovered in Argentina was part of a 2023 special exhibition titled Titanosaur: Life as the Biggest Dinosaur.

New #fossils reveal one of the smallest #titanosaurs ever found https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/new-dinosaur-titanosaur-patagonia-fossils by Riley Black
A new titanosaur from the La Colonia Formation (#Campanian-#Maastrichtian), Chubut Province, Argentina https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08912963.2024.2332997
"Ten times smaller than other #titanosaurs, Titanomachya gimenezi reveals new details about life in ancient #Patagonia before the asteroid wiped out the #dinosaurs."

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. 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."

#paleontology #dinosaurs #titanosaurs #Bustingorrytitan #BustingorrytitanShiva
An article published in the journal "Acta Palaeontologica Polonica" reports the identification of a species of titanosaur that lived about 95 million years ago, in the Cretaceous period, in today's Argentina and was named Bustingorrytitan shiva.

Meet #Bustingorrytitan shiva, New Gigantic #Titanosaur from #Argentina https://www.sci.news/paleontology/bustingorrytitan-shiva-12641.html
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"

Introducing Chucarosaurus diripienda https://paleonerdish.wordpress.com/2023/06/30/introducing-chucarosaurus-diripienda/
@Ferwen: "The Argentinean record of #titanosaurs is particularly abundant... Some of them, were the largest animals to ever walk the Earth... Discovered in the Upper #Cretaceous strata of the #HuinculFormation, #Chucarosaurus diripienda is the biggest #dinosaur found in #RioNegro province... Chucarosaurus lived about 90 million years ago. The body length estimated is ∼ 30 m. Body mass estimated suggests that it weighted 40-50 tons."

“#Sauropods are #dinosaurs that walked on four legs, had long necks and tails and ate plants... and the colossal crown goes to a group of sauropods called #titanosaurs. Introducing Puertasaurus, Patagotitan, and, perhaps the heaviest of them all, Argentinosaurus, weighing in at up to 70 tonnes, as much as 14 elephants.
“What allowed these titanosaurs to grow so big?”

#NewSpecies of #Colossosaur Identified in Argentina
https://www.sci.news/paleontology/chucarosaurus-diripienda-11629.htmlA new gigant #titanosaur (Dinosauria, #Sauropoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of Northwestern #Patagonia, #Argentina https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0195667123000150
#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.
