Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, October 15, 2007
(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.
Scientists from Argentina and Brazil said the Patagonian dinosaur appears to represent a previously unknown species of Titanosaur because of the unique structure of its neck. They named it Futalognkosaurus dukei after the Mapuche Indian words for "giant" and "chief," and for Duke Energy Argentina, which helped fund the skeleton's excavation.

Not all the aging controversies are accidental. Piltdown Man was a deliberate, evolutionist-created hoax. Something about job security—or the “don’t confuse me with facts, my mind’s made up” attitude.

Lots of gaps in the ‘gap book’ to fill.
Could this be one of the creatures mentioned in the Book of Job? Check out the reference to the huge tail.

Futalognkosauru Shouldn't this have been found in Chile instead of Argentina?
To: Domandred; gondramB
I’ll give you a hint - same BS twisting of science that surrounds the controversy around the Shroud of Turin.
See there Domandred? It’s easy to make up pretend artifacts on both sides of the fence.

Don't cry for me, Argentina
I'd cry if I found it in my Wendy's Chili.

The footlongasaurus had one known predator: The gray poupon. Faced with one, it developed a yellow streak - in fact, it was really quite a big weiner. Not wanting to meat its adversary, it would hot-dog down the slopes and the predators could never quite catch-up.

Of course he wasn’t on the Ark.
He was a stick in the mud!
