| Gondwanatitan faustoi Kellner & de Azevedo, 1999 |
Gondwanatitan (meaning "Gondwana titan") was a titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur. Gondwanatitan was found in Brazil, at the time part of the southern supercontinent Gondwana, in the late Cretaceous Period (70 mya). Like some other sauropods, Gondwanatitan was tall and ate tough shoots and leaves off of the tops of trees. Some of this dinosaur's cousins include Brachiosaurus, Sauroposeidon, and Malawisaurus.
The type species is Gondwanatitan faustoi, formally described by Kellner and de Azevedo in 1999.
