Baotianmansaurus (named after the Baotianman National Nature Reserve) is a genus of titanosaur sauropod dinosaur. Its fossils have been found in Upper Cretaceous rocks in Henan, China , within the Gaogou Formation. The type species is B. henanensis, described in 2009. The holotype is 41H III-0200. Remains of the fossils were vertebrae, ribs and scapula fragments.[1] It was probably a close relative of Opisthocoelicaudia and Dongyangosaurus in Saltasauridae.[2][3]
