>>(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?

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

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.

"Futalognkosaurus dukei"

Sounds like something from South Park episode.

They named it Futalognkosaurus dukei after the Mapuche Indian words for "giant" and "chief ...."

Name that PC dinosaur.

Futalognkosaurus dukei. Can’t they come up with something original?
