  • Mongolosaurus haplodon

Mongolosaurus was a genus of sauropod dinosaur which lived during the Early Cretaceous. This animal is known only from very incomplete remains (cervical vertebrae and unusual teeth). Its relationship to other sauropods is unknown. It may have been related to the Diplodocidae or Titanosauria. As the name of this dinosaur suggests, the remains of Mongolosaurus were found in Mongolia.

The type species, Mongolosaurus haplodon, was described by Gilmore in 1933.
