Rinconsauria is an extinct clade of giant titanosaurian sauropods known from the late Cretaceous period of Argentina.

Systematics

[edit]

Rinconsauria was coined by Calvo et al. (2007) to include their new titanosaur Muyelensaurus and the previously described Rinconsaurus.[3] Santucci and Arruda-Campos (2011) recovered Rinconsauria as part of Aeolosaurini, as did Franca et al. (2016) and Silva et al. (2019).[4][5][6] However, cladistic analyses by Gonzalez-Riga et al. (2019) and Mannion et al. (2019) found Aeolosaurus to be in a phylogenetically disparate position than Rinconsauria, with Rinconsauria as sister to Lognkosauria in the clade Colossosauria.[7][8]
