The Giving of December. Mendozasaurus

 Mendozasaurus is a genus of titanosaur that lived in South America during the late Cretaceous.‭ ‬Although only known from incomplete remains,‭ ‬Mendozasaurus is thought to have had quite a long neck as well as osteoderms in the skin.‭ ‬Osteoderm armour in the skin has been observed in some other South American titanosaurs,‭ ‬with the most well known‭ ‬being‭ ‬the genus Saltasaurus.‭ ‬Mendozasaurus is considered to be quite closely related to genera such as Quetecsaurus and Futalognkosaurus.
