Titanosauridae

† Titanosauridae is the core titanosaur family, with fossils known from Early Cretaceous deposits of Mali. This family includes some of the heaviest land animals ever, and their fossils are found on every continent including Antarctica.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Titanosauridae 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

Titanosauridae 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.
