Fígols discovered the Sant Antoni de la Vespa fossil site of the Arcillas de Morella Formation in sediments of the Maestrat Basin near the city of Morella in Castelló, Spain. The Garumbatitan fossil material was subsequently unearthed during field expeditions in 2005 and 2008. The known fossils belong to multiple individuals of different sizes. The holotype, which constitutes the remains of the largest individual, includes a sequence of articulated cervical and dorsal vertebrae, a partial dorsal centrum, ribs, caudal vertebrae, chevrons, an interclavicle, both femora, tibiae, and fibulae, the right astragalus, most of the right pes, and two metatarsals. Some of the bones, including the cervical/dorsal vertebrae sequence some ribs, caudal vertebrae, chevrons, an incomplete ilium, and the left femur, tibia, and fibula, are still unprepared. Additional fossil material belonging to a smaller individual was found associated with the holotype, including ribs, both pubes, and two nearly complete hindlimbs with significant overlapping material with the holotype. These bones were assigned as a paratype specimen. Three left metatarsals and two left pedal phalanges were also referred to Garumbatitan. Additional bones belonging to smaller specimens indicate that the combined remains of Garumbatitan represent at least four individuals.
