Prettige feite
Titanomachya is one of the smallest titanosaurs ever found, weighing only 5 to 10 tons, while some other titanosaurs weighed over 70 tons.1
Its name comes from the Titanomachy, the battle between the Olympian gods and the Titans in Greek mythology.1
This dinosaur lived near the end of the Cretaceous Period, about 67 million years ago, just before the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.1
Titanomachya was found in the La Colonia Formation in central Patagonia, where no sauropod fossils had been found before.1
Its ankle bone (astragalus) has a shape that is halfway between two groups of titanosaurs: Colossosauria and Saltasauroidea.2
The area where Titanomachya lived was a wet, marshy place with coastal lagoons and estuaries, home to predators like Carnotaurus.1

- Titanomachya was named in 2024 by paleontologists Alejandro Pérez-Moreno, Leonardo Salgado, José L. Carballido, Alejandro Otero, and Diego Pol. They found its bones in the La Colonia Formation of Chubut Province, Argentina.41
- Steeds omstrede
- Scientists are not sure why Titanomachya was so small. It might be because it lived on a shrinking land area as the Atlantic Ocean covered parts of Patagonia, or because of changes in climate and ecosystems.1
