Datos curiosos

1

Phosphatotitan lived about 72 to 66 million years ago, during the Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous.4

2

Its fossils were found in a phosphate mine, which is why it was named 'phosphate giant'.1

3

Phosphatotitan weighed about 3.5 to 4 tonnes, which is as much as a large elephant.2

4

Its closest relatives were giant South American sauropods like Patagotitan, but Phosphatotitan was much smaller.2

5

The only known skeleton includes vertebrae from the back, tail, and hips, plus parts of the pelvis.1

6

Phosphatotitan lived in a warm, shallow sea, and its bones were buried in phosphate sandstones.2

7

It was named in 2026 by Nicholas Longrich and colleagues.1
