Maxakalisaurus Maxakalisaurus is a genus of aeolosaurid dinosaur, found in Brazil, 45 km from the city of Prata, in the state of Minas Gerais in 1998. It was related to "Saltasaurus", a sauropod considered unusual because it had evolved apparently defensive traits, including bony plates on its skin and vertical plates along its spine; such osteoderms have also been found for "Maxakalisaurus". The genus name is derived from the tribe of the Maxakali; Topa is one of their divinities.
