Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Traukutitan is a genus of possible lognkosaurian titanosaur sauropod which lived during the late Cretaceous (Santonian age). Fossils of Traukutitan were recovered from the lowermost section of the Bajo de la Carpa Formation (Neuquen Group) in North Patagonia of Argentina and described but not named in 1993 by Leonardo Salgado and Jorge Orlando Calvo. Traukutitan was named by Ruben Dario Juarez Valieri and Calvo in 2011 on the basis of holotype MUCPv 204, a partial semi-articulated skeleton including both thigh bones and thirteen vertebrae from the anterior and middle tail. The type species is Traukutitan eocaudata. The generic name refers to Trauku, the Araucanian mountain spirit, usually represented like a giant, and titan, the name of the Greek mythological giants. The specific name is derived from Greek eos, dawn , and Latin cauda, tail , a reference to the basal morphology of the middle caudal vertebrae.
