Traukutitan eocaudata

† Traukutitan eocaudata is a Late Cretaceous titanosaur from the Neuquén Basin of Argentina, known from vertebral and limb material. Its discovery contributes to the extraordinary titanosaur diversity documented in Patagonian Late Cretaceous deposits.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Traukutitan eocaudata 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 Late Mesozoic Era

Traukutitan eocaudata lived during the Cretaceous Late period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 100,5 to 66,0 million years ago.

The final age of dinosaurs, featuring iconic species like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Velociraptor. Dinosaurs reached their peak diversity before the catastrophic asteroid impact at the Chicxulub crater ended the Mesozoic Era.
