| phylum | Chordata | Ampelosaurus (meaning "vine lizard") is a titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur hailing from the Late Cretaceous Period of what is now Europe. Recent media attention has made Ampelosaurus arguably one of the most famous dinosaurs known from France. Like most sauropods, it would have had a long neck and tail but it also carried armor in the form of osteoderms on its back. This dinosaur would have stretched about 15 meters (50 feet) from snout to tail.
