World's largest dinosaur found in Argentina
In this case, size really does matter. A group of palaeontologists has uncovered the fossilized bones of what is believed to be the world's largest dinosaur in Argentina. Seven skeletons of this yet un-named titanosaur were discovered by a farmer in the deserts near La Flecha, about 125 km west of Trelew, Patagonia.
Diego Pol, a palaeontologist with Argentina's Museum of Egidio Feruglio was part of the excavation team, and he says the fossils are "well preserved."
"We have estimated that this animal weighed 77 tonnes, was probably 40 metres long from the tip of head to the tip of the tail," Mr. Pol tells Carol. "The head was probably 20 metres high, as much as a seven-storey building."
