Fun facts
Soriatitan is the only brachiosaurid dinosaur known from the Early Cretaceous of Europe.1
Its fossils were discovered in the Golmayo Formation, which was once a subtropical landscape with many conifer trees.1
The only known skeleton includes parts like teeth, back bones, hip bones, and arm bones.1
Scientists think Soriatitan weighed about 8 tons, as heavy as a big truck.1
Soriatitan lived between 130 and 125 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.1
Its discovery helps show that brachiosaurids lived in both North America and Europe at that time, suggesting the continents were connected.1
