Latest Species Discovery Titanosaurus in China, Surviving in the Cretaceous Era

A paleontology expert in the People's Republic of China has discovered fragments of fossil remains from a new genus and species of dinosaur from the sauropod titanosaurian family that existed during the Cretaceous period on Earth.

Jiangxititan ganzhouensis, located within the environment of China, approximately 72 to 66 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period. This interesting discovery will be detailed in an upcoming article, referring to the report from sci.news on (22/03).

Newest Species Discovery: Titanosaurus in China, Surviving the Cretaceous Era

Discovery of Fossil Jiangxititan Ganzhouensis.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "This body part was found in Nanxiong, near the Tankou City in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi province, China. The fossil remains include 7 neck vertebrae and fragments of anterior spinal bone, as well as several neck and back ribs."

Special Features of Jiangxititan Ganzhouensis

Special Characteristics of Jiangxititan Ganzhouensis

Jiangxititan ganzhouensis is the second identified species of sauropoda from the Nanxiong Formation.

According to research led by Jin-You Mo from the Guangxi Museum of Natural History and his team, Jiangxititan ganzhouensis has features that distinguish it from other Asian titanosaurs. This can be seen from the presence of branches on the back of the neck and the front of the back, as well as the dorsoventral pressure that occurs on the center of the back of the neck and the front of the back.

"Discovery in the Last Lime Region"

According to paleontologists, the Late Cretaceous Nanxiong Formation contains extensive layers of red mudstone, sandstone, and conglomerate.

In recent years, this formation has revealed a variety of vertebrates including theropods, ornithopods, crocodiles, turtles, lizards, mammals, as well as a large number of dinosaur eggs. Only one species of sauropod, Gannansaurus sinensis, is recorded in this area. The analysis team classifies Jiangxititan ganzhouensis into the titanosaur group Lognkosauria, which it nests within.

"Differences between Jiangxititan Ganzhouensis and Gannansaurus Sinensis".

Researchers state that Jiangxititan ganzhouensis shows characteristics that indicate a more recent difference compared to Gannansaurus sinensis. Specifically, Jiangxititan ganzhouensis is identified as a lognkosaur, while Gannansaurus sinensis is a titanosauriform outside the final divergence group that includes Diamantinasauria and Lithostrotia.

As a result, although Jiangxititan ganzhouensis does not have similarities with Gannansaurus sinensis, it is believed that Jiangxititan ganzhouensis is a different species from Gannansaurus sinensis. The discovery of Jiangxititan ganzhouensis indicates the presence of early and late branches in the sauropoda titanosauriform population in the Late Cretaceous of Ganzhou," they added. This discovery also enhances the diversity of titanosaurus in Asia during the Late Cretaceous.
