Puertasaurus is a
genus of
titanosaurid sauropod that appeared during the Late
Cretaceous. Its bones were recovered from the
Pari Aike Formation, which is dated to be middle
Cenomanian in age. It lived in what is now
Patagonia. The
type species,
Puertasaurus reuili, is named in honor of Pablo Puerta and Santiago Reuil, who discovered the specimen in January 2001.
Puertasaurus is based on a partial spinal column: a neck vertebra, a dorsal (back) vertebra, and two tail vertebrae.
