Reconstructed skeleton of the titanosaur Argentinosaurus huinculensis, often considered the largest known dinosaur. Size has been one of the most interesting aspects of dinosaur science to the general public and to scientists.
Scientists have announced that the bones of a new, even larger dinosaur have been found. Argentinosaurus currently holds the record for being both the heaviest land animal ever, and the longest, but the fossilized bones of the biggest dinosaur ever discovered have been found in Argentina. Scientists believe the species of titanosaur weighed in at 170,000 pounds, as heavy as 14 African elephants.
