名字的意思： “Titan from Lo Hueco, named after the fossil site and the giants of Greek mythology”1

吃：植物長脖子恐龍白堊紀晚期

Lohuecotitan was a huge, long-necked plant eater that stomped around Spain about 70 million years ago. It was one of the most complete titanosaur skeletons ever found in Europe, so scientists learned a lot from it.1

酷東西

趣味知識

Lohuecotitan is known from a partial skeleton with bones still connected or close together, which is rare for sauropods.1

Its backbone had special ridges and bumps that are unique to this dinosaur, helping scientists tell it apart from other titanosaurs.1

The tail vertebrae had a cross-section shaped like a Greek cross, a very unusual feature.1

It lived on an island called Ibero-Armorica, which is now Spain and France, during the Late Cretaceous.1

The fossil site where it was found, Lo Hueco, also had fish, turtles, crocodiles, and other dinosaurs.1

Lohuecotitan is the most complete titanosaur skeleton ever found in Europe from the Late Cretaceous.1
