Prettige feite

1

Atacamatitan is known from a right femur, part of a humerus, two back vertebrae, tail vertebrae, ribs, and a possible sternum piece.2

2

Its fossils were found in a small area of only 2 square metres, and they all belong to one individual.2

3

This dinosaur lived during the Late Cretaceous period, between about 100 and 66 million years ago.3

4

Atacamatitan is a titanosaur, a group of sauropods that includes some of the heaviest land animals ever.1

5

The discovery of Atacamatitan helped confirm that the red sandstones of the Tolar Formation are from the Cretaceous, not the Paleocene.2

6

Its femur has a unique shape: the shaft gets gradually narrower until two-thirds of its length.2

Atacamatitan was discovered during expeditions in 2000 and 2001 by Chilean and Brazilian researchers. It was named and described by Alexander Kellner and colleagues in 2011.12
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are not sure about the exact size of Atacamatitan because only partial bones have been found.3
