PREHISTORIC ARGENTINA, THE DINOSAURS' LAND
Andesaurus delgadoi

"Andesaurus delgadoi",
by the artist Jorge Blanco -
Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales

It was found out by Alejandro Delgado while he was diving at the Ezequiel Ramos Mejía Dam on the Limay River Formation in Neuquén Province. The fossils were taken out when the lake waters allowed it.

It was a primitive Titanosaurian of the Brachiosaurus group. It lived in the Late Cretaceous about 105 million years. It was about 8 meters high and 15 meters long. By that time, the climate was hot and wet, the rivers were quiet ones without deepness. The Andesaurus shared his habitat with crocodiles, turtles, and some amphibious animals.
