Tambatitanis is an extinct genus of titanosauriform dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous (probably early Albian[1]) of Japan. It is known from a single type species, Tambatitanis amicitiae.[2] It was probably around 14 meters long and its mass was estimated at some 4 tonnes.[1] It was a basal titanosauriform and possibly belonged to the Euhelopodidae.[2]
