Description
Sauropodus is an as yet undescribed genus of dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous. It was a sauropod which lived in what is now Argentina. It was informally announced in 2001, and has not yet been formalised.

Edith Simon, an Argentine palaeontologist, told reporters the animal was "30 yards long and weighed about 70 tons"( or ~27.4 metres). The fossils, which were found beneath the town of Villa el Chocon in Neuquen province, consist of segments of vertebrae, ribs, and limb bones. Were their statement correct, then Sauropodus would be one of the largest dinosaurs ever.

Its humerus measured 1.7 metres long.
