 Maxakalisaurus

Maxakalisaurus is a genus of aeolosaurid dinosaur, found in the Adamantina Formation of Brazil, from the city of Prata, in the state of Minas Gerais in 1998.It was related to "Saltasaurus", a sauropod considered unusual because it had evolved apparently defensive traits, including bony plates on its skin and vertical plates along its spine; such osteoderms have also been found for "Maxakalisaurus".
