In Depth
An early Cretaceous sauropod dinosaur from South America, the precise size of Amargatitanis is hard to establish due to lack of remains. The name Amargatitanis is a reference to its discovery in the La Amarga Formation, and its titanosaurian lineage. Other sauropods known from the La Amarga Formation include Zapalasaurus and the similarly named Amargasaurus. The abelisauroid theropod Ligabueino is also known from this formation.
