Researchers from the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont, the Museu de la Conca Dellà, and the Fundación Dinópolis have described the most complete dentition of a titanosaur found in Europe, from fossil remains discovered at the Els Nerets site (Pallars Jussà, Catalonia). These belong to one of the last dinosaurs of this group that lived in the Pyrenees around 70 million years ago and could potentially be a new species for science.
