Chadititan was a small, slender long-necked dinosaur that lived in what is now Argentina about 78 million years ago. It was a titanosaur, but much smaller and more delicate than its giant cousins. Its fossils were found near a huge salt flat, which gave it its name.1 2

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Chadititan was only about 7 metres (23 feet) long, which is small for a titanosaur. Its limbs were thin and straight, not thick like other titanosaurs.1 2

Its name comes from the Mapudungun word 'chadi' meaning salt, because its fossils were found near a big salt flat.1 2

Chadititan lived about 78 million years ago in a dry area with sand dunes and palm trees around a small pond.2

Scientists found the first fossil record of tropical land snails together with Chadititan, showing the area was once wetter.2

No bony plates (osteoderms) were found with Chadititan, unlike some other titanosaurs.1

Chadititan belongs to a group called Rinconsauria, which are known for their slender bodies.1 2

Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

Paleontologist Federico Agnolín and his team described and named Chadititan in 2025. The species name honors Argentine paleontologist Jorge Calvo.1

?What other animals lived with Chadititan?

Many turtles, fish, crocodile relatives, and tropical land snails lived alongside it. A large carnivorous abelisaurid dinosaur was also found in the same area.3 4

?How many Chadititan fossils were found?

About 20 bones from several individuals were discovered, including a possible juvenile. The fossils represent at least 7 different animals.3 1

Ukufunyanwa: Chadititan was named in 2025 by a team led by Federico Agnolin and National Geographic Explorer Diego Pol. The fossils were found on the Marín family farm in northern Patagonia, Argentina.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly how big Chadititan grew, because the known fossils are fragmentary and include a possible juvenile.1
