titanosaur
Cretaceous long-neck
Titanosaurs were massive herbivorous dinosaurs that lived during the Cretaceous period, representing the last surviving group of long-necked sauropods.
Some species rank among the largest land animals ever to exist, with estimates suggesting lengths over 100 feet and weights exceeding 70 tons.
The name means "titan lizard," reflecting their enormous size.
The titanosaur skeleton barely fit in the museum's main hall.
