Sibirotitan

† Sibirotitan is an Early Cretaceous titanosauriform sauropod from the Ilek Formation of western Siberia, Russia. This large herbivore represents one of the few sauropods known from Siberian deposits and documents northward range extensions of titanosauriforms.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Sibirotitan 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

Sibirotitan 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.
