Galveosaurus

Sánchez-Hernández 2005

Galvesaurus, or Galveosaurus, is a genus of brachiosaurid sauropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period. Fossils of the only known species, G. herreroi, were found in Galve, Spain, hence its generic name. The specific name herreroi honours the discoverer, José María Herrero. Some researchers suggest that the taxon might represent a junior synonym of the Portuguese genus Lusotitan.
