Saltasaurus was a herbivorous titanosaurian sauropod that lived in Argentina during the Late Cretaceous, approximately 70 million years ago. It reached about 12 metres in length and was distinguished by bony plates that formed armour over its back.
Saltasaurus had a relatively short neck, with shortened cervical vertebrae. Its limbs were also short and stocky, with particularly short legs. Its belly was extremely broad, and its teeth were cylindrical with spatulate tips.
