Amargasaurus (/ ə ˌ m ɑːr ɡ ə ˈ s ɔː r ə s /; "La Amarga lizard") is a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous epoch (129.4–122.46 mya) of what is now Argentina.The only known skeleton was discovered in 1984 and is virtually complete, including a fragmentary skull, making Amargasaurus one of the best-known sauropods of its epoch.
The closest is the Dinosaur Genera List, compiled by biological nomenclature expert George Olshevsky, which was first published online in 1995 and was regularly updated until June 2021. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The most authoritative general source in the field is the second (2004) edition of The Dinosauria .
This list of nicknamed dinosaur fossils is a list of fossil non-avian dinosaur specimens given informal names or nicknames, in addition to their institutional catalogue numbers. It excludes informal appellations that are purely descriptive (e.g., "the Fighting Dinosaurs", "the Trachodon Mummy").
This is a list of all Internet Relay Chat commands from RFC 1459, RFC 2812, and extensions added to major IRC daemons. Most IRC clients require commands to be preceded by a slash (" / "). Some commands are actually sent to IRC bots ; these are treated by the IRC protocol as ordinary messages, not as / -commands.
[3] [4] [5] Few dicraeosaurids survived into the Cretaceous, the youngest of which was Amargasaurus. [6] The group was first described by German paleontologist Werner Janensch in 1914 with the discovery of Dicraeosaurus in Tanzania. [7] Dicraeosauridae are distinct from other sauropods because of their relatively short neck size and small body ...
Mass estimates for Amargasaurus have been noted to vary widely depending on the method used, [11] and studies using other methods, not yet applied to Amargatitanis, have found Amargasaurus to weigh 3.304 metric tons (3.642 short tons) [12] to 4.376 metric tons (4.824 short tons). [13]
Pilmatueia faundezi fossils have been found in the Mulichinco Formation of Argentina.Known material includes the holotype, MLL Pv-005, a posterior dorsal vertebra; [1] the paratype MLL-Pv-002, a posterior cervical vertebra; MLL-Pv-010, a partial skeleton including cervical vertebrae, dorsal vertebrae, ribs, a caudal vertebra, and incomplete scapulae; [4] and other isolated vertebrae.

Fernando Novas (1992) defined Herrerasauridae as Herrerasaurus, Staurikosaurus, and their most recent common ancestor. [21] Paul Sereno (1998) defined the group as the most inclusive clade including H. ischigualastensis but not Passer domesticus. [22]
