Scientists discover dinosaur of 25 meters and 58 tons in Argentina
Media 25 feet long and eight feet tall, weighed 58 pounds and, despite everything, was still growing. Is this the diagnosis of dinosaur unearthed in the region of Patagonia, Argentina, and it already is considered one of the largest animals that ever lived on Earth. So great that researchers call it Dreadnoughtus â€" named after the invincible battleship of World War I.According to The New York Times, which advanced the news a few minutes ago, the skeleton now collected in Patagonia is one of the most complete ever found of a large dinosaur. Led by paleontologist Kenneth j. Lacovara, Drexel University, Philadelphia, the United States, the Working Group explained the Scientific Reports that bones are huge."I have 16 tons of bone in my lab," said Lacovara, who discovered the fossil in 2005. The excavation of the fossil took four years, having the bones traveled to Philadelphia, by sea, in 2009. It took another four years to assemble the skeleton and study its more than 200 bones, representing 45% of the dinosaur.The Dreadnoughtus lived there are 84 million and 66 million years ago, forming part of a group of sauropod dinosaurs known as titanosaurs.Researchers have made testing of all bones and published the 3D models of each, which can help other paleontologists studying the fossil from a distance and even print three-dimensional replicas of the bones.The full name of the dinosaur is Dreadnoughtus schrani, in honor of the dreadnought, the invincible battleship of World War I, and Adam Schran, an entrepreneur from the technological branch that helped finance the project..fancybox-wrap { position: absolute; top:0; left: 0; z-index: 8020; } .fancybox-skin { position: relative; /*margin-top:20px !important;*/ background: #222222; color: #74b32e; text-shadow: none; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; } .fancybox-opened { z-index: 8030; } .fancybox-opened .fancybox-skin { -webkit-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); -moz-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); } .fancybox-outer, .fancybox-inner { position: relative; } .fancybox-inner { overflow: hidden; } .fancybox-type-iframe .fancybox-inner { -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; } .fancybox-close{ background: url('wp-content/themes/codistage/styles/fancybox/exit.png') no-repeat; width:25px; height:25px; float:right; margin-top:10px; margin-right:5px; } /*.ngg-gallery-image img{width:565px; height:393px;}*/
