Name	Paralititan
Period	Upper Cretaceous
Location	Modern-Day Egypt
Size	26 meters

Paralititan was a genus of giant titanosaurian Sauropods that lived throughout the Cretaceous Period. Because not many fossils of Paralititan have been found, little is known about them. Fossilized Paralititan remains were first discovered in the Upper Cretaceous coastal deposits of the Bahariya Formation in Egypt. The fossil was well preserved in the tidal flat deposits, which contained fossil mangrove vegetation. Though the remains were well preserved, there were not many. Scientists have determined that the available materials suggest that Paralititan was among the largest Dinosaurs to have ever lived, probably the largest. Researchers have come to the conclusion that Paralititan may have possessed Osteoderms in order to defend itself from large predators. The fossilized specimen appears to have been scavenged by a large Carnivore. This opens up the possibility that large carnivorous dinosaurs, such as Carcharodontosaurus and spinosaurus

may have hunted Paralititan as its prey.
