Paralititan
''Paralititan'' (meaning "tidal giant"〔) was a giant titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur genus discovered in coastal deposits in the Upper Cretaceous Bahariya Formation of Egypt. It lived between 98 and 93 million years ago. It was called by one science journalist "what appears to have been the second largest known creature ever to walk on Earth." ==Etymology== Joshua Smith and his fellow discoverers called it ''Paralititan stromeri'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Paralititan Stromeri )〕 which means "Stromer's tidal (Greek ''para'' + ''halos'' "near sea") titan" or "Stromer's tidal giant". It was named by Joshua B. Smith, Matthew C. Lamanna, Kenneth J. Lacovara, Peter Dodson, Jennifer R. Smith, Jason C. Poole, Robert Giegengack and Yousri Attia in 2001 to honor Ernst Stromer von Reichenbach, a German paleontologist and geologist who found dinosaurs in this area in the early 1900s.〔
