The current tipping fee of $95.56/ton for the disposal of all waste types will be decreased to $94.50/ton. Due to on-going litigation related to the award of the MCMUA's transfer station operations and disposal contract, the MCMUA maintained the 2015 tipping fee at the 2014 rate for the first half of 2015.
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.
Argentinosaurus, known as a sauropod, lived during the middle cretaceous period, 100-90 million years ago. Though it has fewer fragments available, A. fragillimus â a dino in the Amphicoelias family â might be the biggest dinosaur on the block. Based on surviving descriptions of a single fossil bone, researchers estimate that fragillimus may have been 130 to 200 feet long, and may have had a mass of up to 135 tons.
