Recommended Posts

Well actually when you mention it it sounds familiar. Strange it just popped up at my news feed last night.

Shades of Seismosaurus, found in Argentina, which was believed to up to 140ft in length. They hadn't finished excavating the thing when this announcement was made, so perhaps it was a bit optomistic? Or is the report above ill-informed?

Radio said between 120 - 140 feet long. Haven't found the limbs yet.

Palentologist Fernando Novas poses with a bone from Puertasaurus reuili, a giant plant-eating dinosaur. The dorsal (back) vertebra, about 3.5 feet (1 meter) tall and 5.5 feet (1.7 meters) wide, is one of four fossils from the species unearthed in Argentina's Patagonia region.

Only another titanosaur, Argentinosaurus huinculensis, rivals Puertasaurus in size, scientists say. Argentinosaurus was also found in Argentina's Patagonia region and dates back to 90 million years ago
