1

Petrustitan was named in 2025, making it one of the newest dinosaur names.3

2

Its name comes from Greek words for 'stone' and 'giant', because its fossils were found in rocky outcrops near the village of Sânpetru.1

3

Petrustitan lived during the Maastrichtian age, about 72 to 66 million years ago, right before the dinosaurs went extinct.3

4

This dinosaur was originally thought to be a species of Magyarosaurus, but scientists later decided it was different enough to get its own genus.1

5

Petrustitan was a dwarf dinosaur, smaller than many other titanosaurs, because it lived on an island where food was limited.2

6

Only a few bones of Petrustitan have been found, including a leg bone (fibula) and a shin bone (tibia).1
