>>(AP) The skeleton of what’s believed to be a new dinosaur species - a 105-foot plant-eater that is among the largest dinosaurs ever found - has been uncovered in Argentina, scientists said Monday.<
I just they aged it properly before they buried it so we don’t have another controversy like the pterodactyl.

Another one! Is it related to the one in last week’s thread?

Woops, you are right, it was posted last week

should be: 105Footalongasaurus dukei
or just ‘damnbigosaurus’
and as for the Titanosaurs...guess they were sunk from the get-go.

The genetic search function gives spotty results.

New species means new theories. Open up that gap book. Gotta find a spot for it.

From the complete article:
North America's dinosaurs don't even compare, Mackovicky added in a phone interview. "Dinosaurs do get big here, but nothing near the proportions we see in South America." That is because of the advanced economics of North America. After being dug up, scientific testing of the buried bondisaurus indicated that although roughly normal size, its skeleton supported an abnormally large musculature. *Spectrographic analysis indicates some sort of substance was used.

Actually
Futalognkosauru is derived from the Coney Islandish meaning "Nathan's" and "the big one" and is properly pronounced "foot-long-ko-saurus".
I believe the ending means "side of slaw", which of course is nuts. You want a "side of cheese fries". No wonder they went extinct.

Heck, that is nothing, I passed by the site of the bones of another ancient dinosaur skeleton, rather then call for a professional assesment I examined the carcass myself..
As I closed on the fossil, it had writing on it....
New York Times, Weekend Edition..
I named it thusly...Mediaus Narccissus

"Futalognkosaurus dukei" Sounds like something from South Park episode.

There are a couple of pictures floating around of people who seem to have found a pterodactyl. I have always assumed that whoever fakes the ages of those dinosaur fossils just screwed up.
