Quetecsaurus was a giant, long-necked plant-eater that lived in what is now Argentina. It had a small head, a huge body, and a long tail. This dinosaur is known from only one partial skeleton, but it helps scientists understand how titanosaurs evolved.1

Quetecsaurus is known from a partial skeleton that includes a postorbital bone, teeth, the atlas, a rear cervical vertebra, an incomplete dorsal vertebra, a rear caudal centrum, dorsal ribs, a coracoid, five metacarpals, and fragments of a humerus, radius and ulna.1

2

It is the first sauropod with well-preserved remains to be discovered in the Cerro Lisandro Formation.1

3

Quetecsaurus had three unique features that set it apart from other dinosaurs. Its atlas had a prominent front bottom edge and enlarged back bottom processes. Its humerus had a strongly S-shaped top border. And the neural spines on its rear neck vertebrae had small side expansions.1

4

Scientists think Quetecsaurus was closely related to other giant titanosaurs like Mendozasaurus and Futalognkosaurus. It belongs to a group called Lognkosauria.1

5

The name Quetecsaurus comes from the Milcayac word 'quetec', meaning fire, and the Greek word 'sauros', meaning lizard.1

6

Quetecsaurus lived during the Turonian stage of the Late Cretaceous, about 93 to 90 million years ago.2

?What did Quetecsaurus eat?

It was a plant-eater. Like other sauropods, it had a small head and teeth suited for eating plants.1

?When did Quetecsaurus live?

Scientists are still debating exactly where Quetecsaurus fits in the titanosaur family tree. Some studies place it as a sister taxon to Lognkosauria, while others include it within that group.1
