Mendozasaurus
''Mendozasaurus'' is a genus of sauropod dinosaur. It was a member of Titanosauria, which were massive sauropods that were common on the southern landmasses during the Cretaceous period.
''Mendozasaurus'' is known from incomplete remains that show it was an armored animal, with armor being common among many later titanosaurs such as ''Saltasaurus''. This dinosaur lived from the late Turonian to the late Coniacian, approximately 89-85 million years ago. It belonged to the recently discovered clade Lognkosauria,〔Calvo, J.O., Porfiri, J.D., González-Riga, B.J., and Kellner, A.W. (2007) "A new Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystem from Gondwana with the description of a new sauropod dinosaur". ''Anais Academia Brasileira Ciencia'', 79(3): 529-41.()〕 a transitional group of titanosaurs which included the gigantic ''Futalognkosaurus'' and ''Puertasaurus''. Like both of these animals, ''Mendozasaurus'' had a long, thick neck with very heavy cervical ribs and massive neural spines.
The type species, ''Mendozasaurus neguyelap'', was described by Argentine paleontologist Bernardo J. Gonzalez Riga () in 2003. ''Mendozasaurus'' is the first dinosaur named from Mendoza Province, Argentina.
