A huge monster inhabiting the planet
In comparison to this monster spooky tyrannosaurus seem to you just a kitten. Scientists have found the remains of the oldest and largest creatures, many years ago lived on this planet. I propose to find out about this monster in the continuation of the post! Look further!
Tiranozav, Stegosaurus and Argentinosaurus simply pale against the backdrop of a new prehistoric creatures that have recently managed to find Argentine researchers. Before the fossil bones of the largest dinosaur ever discovered were found in Argentina, the title of the heaviest and longest land animal belonged Argentinosaurus. Scientists believe that Titanosaurs weighed about 77 tons - about as many as 14 African elephants weigh. The original remains were discovered by local agricultural workers, and then to the excavation team of paleontologists came from the Museum of Paleontology Egidio Feruglio led by Dr. Jose Luis and Diego Karbalido Paul. They unearthed the partial skeletons of seven individuals, a total of 150 bones, which are perfectly preserved. According to measurements of the tibia giant herbivore it was 40 meters long and 20 meters high. Paleontologists think that it is a new kind of titanosaurs - part of a diverse group of sauropods - dinosaurs, which were characterized by long necks and tails, and had a small head. Megadinozavr would weigh about 77 tons, making it seven tonnes heavier than the previous record holder - Argentinosaurus. A creature that lived in the forests of Patagonia between 95 and 100 million years ago, has not yet received a name, says Mail Online. To better understand the size of the creature, whose remains were found, a paleontologist at the University of Oxford Dr Roger Benson, who led the study, said that all Tyrannosaurus weighed 7 tons, which is 10 times smaller. Dinosaurs first appeared on Earth about 228 million years ago during the Triassic period and is widely spread in the ensuing Jurassic and then disappeared in the late Cretaceous period, about 65 million years ago. The mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period caused by the fall of an asteroid crashed on the territory of modern Mexico. Most of the creatures became extinct, but some managed to survive the birds.
