Europatitan

Europatitan’s neck is one of the most impressive parts of its fossil story.

Europatitan’s neck is one of the most impressive parts of its fossil story. It was a sauropod with a very long neck, a small head and sturdy legs. Its large neck vertebrae are an important part of the skeleton, helping explain how these animals supported such a long structure without making it a solid block of bone.
