Shocking news from Argentina revealed the discovery of the largest creature that inhabited the Earth before the human era.
Scientists have made a shocking discovery as they found the remains of what thought to be the largest creature that has lived in the planet. On Friday, paleontologists have found the 90 million year-old fossil in Patagonia, southern part of Argentina. The news has become one of another greatest discovery made by humans regarding the creatures that previously lived just before human species became dominant.
The team claimed that the fossil they found belonged to the largest dinosaur found to date. Paleontologists estimate that the dinosaur could be weighing around 80ons which is equivalent to the weight of 14 African elephants. The approximate height is about 65 feet tall and 10 feet long.
According to the latest Argentina news, the newly found dinosaur has surpassed the record of the Argentinosaurus by some seven tons. The Telegraph reports that the bones were initially discovered in the desert near La Flecha and were excavated last week by the group of palaeontologists headed by Dr. Jose Luis Carbadillo and Dr. Diego Pol. Furthermore, the researchers say that they are confident that they found the big one with the number of bones they have discovered.
While the Argentine researchers are confident enough, a dinosaur expert from London has cautioned that further research should be done before declaring that what was mentioned in the shocking Argentina news is indeed the world's largest dinosaur. He also added that palaeontologists have different ways of calculating the size and weight depending on the number of bones.
Moreover, the latest Argentina news about the fossils found served as the first evidence that diplodocid sauropods survived beyond the Jurassic period. Last week's discovery came along with the discovery of the fossilized remains of a unique member of the sauropods. The claimed gigantic discovery still has no name but will be named according to is characteristics and in honor of the region and farm owners that informed them about the discovery.
