Datos curiosos

1

Wintonotitan was one of three new dinosaurs named from the Winton Formation in 2009, along with Diamantinasaurus and Australovenator.1

2

Its fossils were first discovered in the 1970s by Keith Watts, who donated them to the Queensland Museum. The species name wattsi honors him.2

3

Wintonotitan had unique tail bones that were biconvex (rounded on both ends) near the tip, which is different from most other sauropods.2

4

It lived in a river plain environment with large rivers, swamps, and lakes, after the Eromanga Sea had retreated. The climate was subtropical with abundant rainfall.2

5

Wintonotitan was a relatively small titanosaur, reaching about 15 to 16 metres long, while some other titanosaurs could grow to 35 metres.2

6

The fossils found include most of the front limb and shoulder girdle, tail vertebrae, ribs, and hip bones, but no skull or teeth have been discovered yet.2

It ate ferns, ginkgoes, conifers, cycads, and early flowering plants that grew in its river-plain home.2

?How did Wintonotitan get its name?

Descubrimento
Wintonotitan was named by Scott Hocknull and colleagues in 2009 based on fossils found near Winton, Queensland. The bones were first collected in the 1970s by Keith Watts and later excavated by the Queensland Museum in the 1980s.12
Aínda en debate
Scientists are not sure what Wintonotitan's skull looked like because no skull bones have been found. They also debate whether it was a basal titanosauriform or a more derived titanosaur.21
