"Discovering Garumbatitan: A Massive Dinosaur Unearthed in Iberian Peninsula's Lower Cretaceous"

A new study describes the discovery of Garumbatitan morellensis, a new species of sauropod dinosaur that lived in the Iberian Peninsula approximately 122 million years ago. The remains of this giant dinosaur were found in the Morella region of Spain and have expanded the diversity of dinosaurs known in the area. The fossils, including vertebrae and a femur, were found in a deposit that contains one of the largest concentrations of sauropod dinosaur remains from the European Lower Cretaceous. The discovery sheds light on the evolutionary history of sauropods in Europe and suggests periods of faunal dispersal between continents.
