酷東西

趣味知識

Tambatitanis is known from a partial skeleton that includes 22 tail bones and 17 chevrons (bones under the tail).1

Its front chevron is the longest of any sauropod when compared to body size.2

The fossil was found in a riverbed and took five field seasons to dig out because water covered it most of the year.1

Tambatitanis lived about 113 to 110 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous.4

Scientists think Tambatitanis might belong to a group of sauropods called Euhelopodidae, which are only found in East Asia.2

The name Tambatitanis comes from Tamba, the area in Japan where it was found, and the Greek word for giant.1
