Huge, New Dinosaur Species Discovered in Patagonia

[chattanova]

"It's a new species, a new group. Its neck was very big in diameter, strong and huge.
This is one of the biggest in the world and one of the most complete (fossil) of these giants
that exist (70% )." - Jorge Calvo, Dir., Paleontology Centre,
National University of Comahue, Argentina



Futalognkosaurus dukei, "chief of the lizards."
A fossil bone found by Brazilian and Argentinian paleontologists
in Patagonia is from a new species of Titanosaur that was a plant-eater that grew
to be at least 40 feet tall and as long as 112 feet from head-to-tail. In the TV screen
is an artist's illustration of what the long-necked giant dinosaur might have
looked like 80 million years ago.

The name Futalognkosaurus dukei is from the indigenous Patagonian Mapuche language and means "giant chief of the lizards." The 70% preserved fossilized skeleton was found on the banks of Lake Barreales in Argentina's Neuquen province. Even though Patagonia today is a windy plain, 80 million years ago it was humid and densely forested - and apparently big dinosaurs liked it there. To other large dinosaur skeletons, Argentinosaurus and Puertasaurus reuili, were also previously found there.

Dinosaurs own dude. There is an infinite number of dinos in the ground. My friend who used to smoke weed a lot says that during one of his high times he discovered that dinosaurs never existed but were created by scientists.
