Losillasaurus’s bones add another piece to the story of Europe’s great long-necked dinosaurs. It had the heavy body, column-like legs and long neck of a large sauropod. Its vertebrae reveal features of the turiasaurs, a branch of giant plant eaters distinct from more famous groups.
Three stages. One companion.

Beyond the game
The real Losillasaurus
Its main remains were found near Losilla, Spain, the place behind its name. Parts of several skeletal regions survive, but they do not provide a complete picture of every detail.
The ages of formations near the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary have been revised several times. It is therefore best to link the animal to particular rocks and studies, rather than give an overly precise date as though it were a birthday.
