“Soo, this is what the Titanosaurus was supposed to look like. I have always wondered how much taller than the Brachiosaurus is but that is pretty impressive already.”
– Isaac Clement
The mighty Titanosaurus is a member of the sauropod family and one of the most well-known groups of dinosaurs. It was likely a medium-sized sauropod compared to larger titanosaurs like Argentinosaurus or Patagotitan, but it still got one of the coolest names ever.
Originally discovered in 1877 in what is now India, the Titanosaurus was based on limited and fragmentary fossils (vertebrae and limb bones), which led to scientific debate about whether it deserved its own genus. It is still debated about some features of the Titanosaurs like its massive body and small head, column-like limbs, wide and stocky torso. Some even suggest that it had dermal armor a.k.a. osteoderms — bone plates in the skin
The size of Titanosaurus is a bit tricky to pin down precisely due to the fragmentary nature of its fossil remains, but paleontologists have made educated estimates based on related species in the Titanosauria group and they suggest that it was probably
9 to 12 meters (30–40 feet) in lenght, and about 3–4 meters (10–13 feet) hight at the shoulder. About the weight it was probably somewehere around 13 to 22 tons.
