About Amargatitanis
What it was like
Amargatitanis was a long-necked plant eater, probably a dicraeosaurid, a sauropod with a fairly short neck for its kind. It is known from part of a hind leg, a hip bone and a few tail bones.
Its world
It lived about 126 to 121 million years ago, in the Early Cretaceous, in what is now Argentina. Its bones come from the La Amarga Formation, where it shared the land with its spiny relative Amargasaurus and the sauropod Zapalasaurus.
