Beyond the game
The real Nemegtosaurus
It was described from a long, low skull with slender, pencil-like teeth. Although it resembles the diplodocoids, studies place it among the titanosaurs.
Its skull comes from the same layers as Opisthocoelicaudia, known for a headless skeleton. The resemblance to diplodocoids does not alone determine its relationship: studies place it among the titanosaurs. Its discovery in layers shared with other sauropods raises questions that require comparing specific fossils.
Titanosaurs were long-necked sauropods. The group includes giants and relatively small species; membership of the group does not automatically determine body size.
