1

Atacamatitan is known from a right femur, part of a humerus, two back vertebrae, tail vertebrae, ribs, and a possible sternum piece.2

2

Its fossils were found in a small area of only 2 square metres, and they all belong to one individual.2

3

This dinosaur lived during the Late Cretaceous period, between about 100 and 66 million years ago.3

4

Atacamatitan is a titanosaur, a group of sauropods that includes some of the heaviest land animals ever.1

5

The discovery of Atacamatitan helped confirm that the red sandstones of the Tolar Formation are from the Cretaceous, not the Paleocene.2

6

Its femur has a unique shape: the shaft gets gradually narrower until two-thirds of its length.2
