Bernardo Javier González Riga is an Argentinean paleontologist. He has discovered in the Late Cretaceous strata of the Mendoza Province (Argentina) the huge sauropod dinosaur named Notocolossus,[1] one of the largest land animal that ever found. He also described and co-described many new dinosaur species like Mendozasaurus, Malarguesaurus, Quetecsauruss, Muyelensaurus, Rinconsaurus, Futalognkosaurus, Ligabuesaurus and Lapampasaurus. Their ichnological studies are focused on a new mega-track site discovered in the Mendoza Province, where the Titanopodus mendozensis [2][3] tracks are named.
