although...Europe didn't exist, right? So I'm guessing due to continental drift all those places were squidged together more and North Africa was touching where 1,2 &3 were found?

Mainly you are right, but while Iberia had indeed contact with North Africa there where still many original european habitats. Europe as a continent exist since more than 500 million years.

Yeah I'm not sure what time the past continents like Gondwanaland and Pangaea broke up, but I thought it happened a while after the Dinosaurs? But maybe I'm wrong, will have to do some researchin' on that one.

The supercontinent Pangaea broke into Gondwana and Laurasia at the end of the Triassic, when the dinosaurs begin to roam the world, that why were present (and are present) on all continents, that was 208 Million years ago.

Yeah I know that's why they're present on all continents, the thing I was focusing on really was when Europe split from Africa, or the Mediterranean Sea filled up. Just because it seems like maybe those first 3 might also be found on the North African coast when it was all connected together.

It's different around, africa is in the moment coliding with europe, that's why we have active vulcanos in Italy and earth quakes in Turkey.
In fact the mediterranean sea open and closed a few times 6 million years ago.

Ohhh, Africa is colliding with Europe? Darn okay, I thought it was the other way around and Africa had split from Europe in the past (some parts of the coast tesselate with the North European coast) .... maybe it is beginning to crash together then, and they've never been neighbours in the past?
I wonder what the Mediterranean Sea would look like if it got empty again.

They were once neighbors, but that was during the Perm when Pangaea was the only landmass.
When you want to know how the mediterranean sea would look like without water watch the documentary "the future is wild" on YouTube

Not much size difference between Paludititan and Magyariosaurus, but it's ncie to see that Europe and Argentina were both equally diverse in titanosaurs!!

Nice, like the differences between each species. Makes you think alot of evolution occured in the European Archipelago not only among the Sauropods but in other branches of Dinosaurs.

Oh yes it’s a very good idea
You have represented the second Spanish locality that yielded Lirainosaurus in eastern Spain (Chera, Valencia province) but it lacks the type locality of this titanosaur, Laño in northern Spain.You can locate the site in this article in press (map at the very end of the paper) : [link]
Coming soon :
Papers about new titanosaurs in Spain (Lo Hueco, Cuenca province) and southern France (a new locality from Provence that also yielded a new abelisaurid theropod). As well as new localities for Lirainosaurus in Spain and for the first time in France.

Lirainosaurus is an interesting beast... I've read the paper and it looks most similar to the Trigonosauridae of Brazil. How this family got to Europe is a mystery. Through Africa perhaps, before gondwana was completely split up?
