Day 76, Marchosauria: Rinconsaurus caudamirus

Decided to try this late into the day, so I didn't do too much research on Rinconsaurus before starting. I wish I did, the Bajo de la Carpa Formation has SUCH a richly preserved biota. Deserving of much more than generic canyon walls! The one time I remember to draw conifers, it's for a mesozoic ecosystem that had freaking grasses and palm trees! I tried to add in some of the earliest flightless bird (that we know of), Patagopteryx deferrariisi.

Rinconsaurus caudamirus

Name: Rinconsaurus caudamirus

Name Meaning: Rincón Reptile

First Described: 2003

Described By: Calvo & Riga 

Classification: Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Sauropodomorpha, Plateosauria, Massopoda, Sauropodiformes, Anchisauria, Sauropoda, Gravisauria, Eusauropoda, Neosauropoda, Macronaria, Titanosauriformes, Somphospondyli, Titanosauria

Rinconsaurus was another type of titanosaur from - you guessed it - the Neuquen province of Argentina, specifically near Rincón de los Saurces. It is known from vertebrae, limb bones, scapula, ribs, and hip bones, as well as some parts of the skull and jaw. It may be an Aeolosaurini, but this is under debate. It was probably about 11 meters long and was very slender for a titanosaur. It lived from the Turonian to Coniacian ages of the Late Cretaceous, about 89 million years ago.
