酷東西

趣味知識

Garrigatitan lived about 74 to 70 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous Period.1

Its fossils were found in two bonebeds at the same site, alongside another titanosaur called Atsinganosaurus.2

The name Garrigatitan comes from the Occitan word 'garriga', meaning dry thicket, and the Greek word 'titan' for giant.1

Scientists think Garrigatitan belonged to a group of titanosaurs called Lirainosaurinae, which lived in Europe.1

Some bones show that even the smaller individuals had reached full adulthood, with growth rings like tree rings.2

Garrigatitan had hourglass-shaped upper arm bones, a unique feature among titanosaurs.2

給恐龍專家

學名: Garrigatitan
命名者: Díez Díaz et al. 20214
類群: 長脖子恐龍
科 / 演化支: Lirainosaurinae4
分類: Sauropodomorpha > Sauropoda > Titanosauria > Macronaria4
岩石的年代: 84 到 72 百萬年 (Campanian)4
國家: 法國4
化石紀錄: The Paleobiology Database 收錄 1 筆4
發現: Garrigatitan was named in 2021 by Verónica Díez Díaz and colleagues. The first fossils were found between 2009 and 2012 during excavations by the Palaios Association and the University of Poitiers.1 2
仍有爭議: Scientists are not sure whether Garrigatitan was a lirainosaurine or a member of a different group called Lognkosauria, because its fossils are fragmentary.1
