Hamititan

Hamititan is known from only seven tail bones and three chevrons, which are bones that help support the tail.13

Its tail bones were procoelous, meaning they were cup-shaped at the front and ball-shaped at the back, which made the tail flexible and strong.2

A small theropod tooth was found right next to Hamititan's tail bones, suggesting a meat-eating dinosaur may have nibbled on its carcass.1

Hamititan lived in the same place as the pterosaur Hamipterus, which flew in the skies above. But Hamititan was a dinosaur, not a pterosaur.1

The name Hamititan comes from Hami city and the word titan, which means a giant from Greek myths.1

Hamititan was a titanosaur, a group of sauropods known for their huge size and wide bodies.1
