Ampelosaurus, a genus of titanosaur sauropod, lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 70 million years ago. Discovered in modern-day France, Ampelosaurus is notable for its armor-like osteoderms—bony plates embedded in the skin—that provided defense against predators. Unlike other sauropods, it had a relatively short neck and a robust body, with an estimated length of around 15 meters (50 feet). This herbivorous dinosaur thrived in a semi-arid environment, feeding on tough vegetation. Its discovery has provided valuable insights into the evolution and diversity of sauropods in Europe during the Cretaceous.
