New Titanosaur Species Unearthed in Spain Reveals Dinosaur Diversity

Qunkasaura pintiquiniestra, discovered at the Lo Hueco site, offers insights into Late Cretaceous ecosystems in Europe.

Qunkasaura pintiquiniestra lived approximately 75 million years ago in the Iberian Peninsula.
The fossil, one of the most complete sauropod skeletons in Europe, includes vertebrae, pelvic girdle, and limb elements.
This discovery marks the first identification of two distinct saltasauroid lineages at the same fossil site.
Qunkasaura's unique morphology provides new information on non-avian dinosaurs in the region.
Research suggests that Lohuecosauria, a new group of titanosaurs, may have originated in Gondwana before spreading globally.
