Scientists announced the discovery of fossils of dinosaur fossil bones believed to be the largest creature and set foot on the ground in Argentina.

Given the magnitude of the femur dinosaur, scientists estimated length of about 40 meters and a height of about 20 meters. The weight of the dinosaur, according to scientists estimates about 77 tons, or the equivalent weight of 14 Villa Africa, also increases the weight by about seven tons for the weight of the largest dinosaur had been discovered before, a dinosaur named "Erjntinosoras."Scientists believe that the newly discovered dinosaur is a new kind of set the "Tetanassour," huge carnivorous animals of the herb has lived in the late Cretaceous period.

Coincidence

The dinosaur fossils has been discovered after being found by a local farmer in the beginning in the desert area near the town of La Flisca, which is about 250 kilometers west of the city of Trelew in southern Patagonia region of Argentina. It was then extracted bone fossil of a dinosaur by a team of paleontologists from the Museum of Paleontology Egidio Verugleo city of Trelew, led by Jose Luis and Diego Carpaledo Paul. The scientists found parts of the skeleton of the seven members, with a total of 150 all greatness "in excellent condition".

The camera crew went from the Natural History Unit in the BBC there to record the moment scientists identified the exact magnitude of this discovery. By measuring the length and circumference larger bones, femur scientists estimated weight of about 77 tons. The researchers told the BBC: "Given the size of these bones, which exceeds its counterpart in any large animal discovered than ever before, the new dinosaur is the largest animal and set foot on the ground."They added: "with a length ranging from the head to the end of its tail, about 40 meters, and in the case of standing raising his head to the top, a height of about 20 meters, the equivalent height of seven floors of the buildings."He lived dinosaur eat the grass in the forests of Patagonia region since about 95 to 100 million years old, and given the age of rocks found on the bones. In spite of the bulkiness, but scientists did not call on the name of this dinosaur after. The researchers said: "We will launch it a name that describes bulkiness and full of the region and the farm owners who Nbhona to this discovery."There were a number of contenders for the title of "the biggest dinosaur in the world" than ever before. The last of those dinosaurs dinosaur "Erjntinosoras" which belongs to the breed Alsouroboda, which was also discovered in the Patagonia region.

Heavier

It was previously thought that the weight of the dinosaur Erjntinosoras of about 100 tons, but was re-look at it later this fall for the estimated weight of about 70 tons, which is less than the weight of the new dinosaur, which is 77 tons and belongs to the same strain Alsouroboda. Not estimate the weight of the dinosaurs is very accurate, to be adopted on a number of complex ways to estimate the size and weight, and by relying on the skeleton, which was found incomplete in the habit. The size of the dinosaur Erjntinosoras has been estimated on the basis of a few bones. But researchers here in the case of the new dinosaur to have dozens of bones that are working on them, which makes them more confident that they had already discovered the largest dinosaur in history. Agrees Paul Barrett, dinosaur expert and professor at the Natural History Museum in London, with the idea that you see that the new Dinosaur "a very large animal, but there are a number of dinosaur bones thigh strain Alsouroboda also been discovered."

He added: "Without knowing more about this dinosaur, it is hard to be sure."

More accuracy

Barrett pointed out that one of the problems faced by scientists in estimating the weight of the dinosaur Tyrannosaurus Erjntinosoras and new is that both the estimates based on samples of bone fragments, and there is no complete skeleton, which means that the estimate of the dimensions and shape of the animal's total speculative issue. He added: "It is interesting for us to hear about the discovery of a new dinosaur from another strain Alsouroboda. But as the ideal, we need more concrete materials of these amazing animals in order to determine the extent of the true magnitude."
