Soriatitan golmayensis

† Soriatitan golmayensis is an Early Cretaceous brachiosaurid sauropod from the Calatayud-Teruel Basin of Spain. This large herbivore adds to a growing record of Laurasian brachiosaurids surviving into the Early Cretaceous in southwestern Europe.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Soriatitan golmayensis was a plant-eating dinosaur. Herbivores typically fed on ferns, cycads, conifers, and other vegetation available during their era. Many herbivorous dinosaurs developed specialized teeth and digestive systems for processing tough plant material.

Time Period

Cretaceous Early Mesozoic Era

Soriatitan golmayensis lived during the Cretaceous Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 145.0 to 100.5 million years ago.

The Cretaceous saw continued dinosaur evolution with the rise of ornithopods and early ceratopsians. Flowering plants first appeared and began to transform terrestrial ecosystems. Spinosaurus and other large theropods lived during this time.
