Argentina .... the land where the world's largest dinosaurs once roamed

Fascinating!



From Channel4News:
....Scientists from the Museo Paleontologico Egidio Feruglio (MEF) have been excavating the fossil remains of seven enormous herbivore dinosaurs found at the site in Chubut Province, in Argentinian Patagonia.

Initial analysis suggests that the new species had a length of 130 feet and a weight of around 80 tonnes – making it the largest known dinosaur.

"It's like two trucks with a trailer each, one in front of the other, and the weight of 14 elephants together", said José Luis Carballido of MEF said.

The dinosaur is a sauropod, the same family as a diplodocus, and belongs to a particularly large group known as titanosaurs.......
