Alamosaurus (meaning "Ojo Alamo lizard") was an American titanosaur. Found in Texas and named after Ojo Alamo - a formation in Texas where it was first discovered - It was the last and largest sauropod known from North America and may well have been prey to Tyrannosaurus. The name Alamosaurus means "Lizard from the Alamo". One of the last sauropod dinosaurs, the largest individual is about 26 meters long and weighs 38 tons, rivaling the size of other titanic sauropods such as Argentinosaurus.
