Re: DINOSAUR digest 1281



Do you mean Saltasaurus?  This was a sauropod (family Titanosauridae) that 
lived
in South America near the end of the Cretaceous Period.  It was lightly 
armoured
with bony plates embedded in the skin of its back.  Length about 12m or 40'; 
weight
about 6 to 8 tons.  Its nearest relatives were Titanosaurus from India, and 
Alamosaurus
from the southwestern U.S..
