According to multiple reports, the study on Dreadnoughtus was published online Thursday in the journal "Scientific Reports."
CBS News reports the researchers have excavated the fossil in southern Patagonia, Argentina, over four field seasons between 2005 and 2009. A smaller specimen with less-complete remains was also discovered at the site.
Scientists believe there to be more massive dinosaurs out there, but because of lack of bones, their masses can't be accurately calculated.
Currently, researchers have around 10 Dreadnoughtus papers in the pipeline, four of which are already written. This reportedly takes the analysis a step further.
One study looks at the dinosaur's movements through the use of robotic and computer simulations, with 3D scans of the bones which are already publicly available for free download along with the current study.
Lacovara said, "Kids are going to be able to download the Dreadnoughtus bones and play with them."
"This is the kind of creature that will soon make it into Hollywood," he said. "You can guarantee that the next documentary on dinosaurs will feature this new creature," he added.
Massive dinosaur skeleton found recently will serve as a Rosetta Stone to unlocking the mysteries of other enormous dinosaurs, said D'Emic, a palaeontologist.
