A new species of dinosaur

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks | View blog reactions

According to an article in this morning's Times, an enormous new dinosaur, Futalognkosaurus dukei, has just been described in the Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences. Futalognkosaurus appears to have been more than 32-34m long, and nearly 70% of its remains appear to have been found. It's not the biggest dinosaur ever found, but it's among the biggest, and it's also among the most complete. Unfortunately, the Annals of the Brazilian Academy do not appear to be available on-line, so I can't provide a link.
