Garumbatitan
Garumbatitan was a huge, long-necked plant-eating dinosaur that lived in what is now Spain. It belonged to a group of sauropods called somphospondylans, which had strong, sturdy legs and a long tail. This dinosaur helps scientists understand how different sauropods spread across Europe and other continents long ago.1

Prettige feite
Garumbatitan is known from a partial skeleton, including bones from its leg, ankle, and foot.1
It had a unique foot with no calcaneum (heel bone) and a reduced claw on the third toe.1
Scientists identified 19 unique features in Garumbatitan that are not seen in other sauropods.1
It lived during the Barremian age, about 125 to 121 million years ago, in the Early Cretaceous period.2
Garumbatitan was an early member of the somphospondylan group, more primitive than Tastavinsaurus but more advanced than Dongbeititan.1
Its fossils were found in the Arcillas de Morella Formation, which was once a river or floodplain environment.2
