Gobititan is a genus of dinosaur from the mid-Cretaceous. The genus is based on one partial skeleton, composed of spinal vertebrae and a partial limb. Based on the partial skeleton, it is believed to have been a basal titanosaur, a type of sauropod. The type species, Gobititan shenzhouensis, was described by You, Tang and Luo in 2003. The fossils were found in China.[1]
