Chubutisaurus (meaning "Chubut lizard") is a genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Period. It lived in South America. It is classified as a sauropod, specifically one of the titanosaurs. The type species, Chubutisaurus insignis, was described by del Corro in 1975. Its fossils were found in the Cerro Barcino Formation, Albian stage, about 110 million years ago. Chubutisaurus had a more robust radius than Venenosaurus. In 2010 Gregory Paul gave a length of 18 meters (59 feet) and a weight of 12 tons (13.2 short tons). Thomas Holtz estimated its length at 23 meters (75.5 feet) in 2012.
Jurassic Park franchise[]
Chubutisaurus was featured in the Jurassic Park Institute now available to browse on Dinopedia.
Chubutisaurus is not listed as a dinosaur on dinotracker.com, however it is listed as a prey item of Carnotaurus in its field guide along with turtles. The same occurs in a fun fact about Carnotaurus in Jurassic World Play.
