The geological formation where Amargatitanis comes, "La Amarga", is feminine in spanish (and means "The Bitter one")

Jose Ignacio Ruiz-Omeñaca


Nick Pharris <npharris@umich.edu> ha escrito:

AMARGATITANIS gen. nov.

Etymology: Amarga, referring the fossil locality; titanis (Greek), titan, giant, because of the affinities of the specimen with the titanosaurs.
Actually, *titanis* is specifically a female titan.
