At a site in Argentina, the remains of seven individuals of a new herbivorous dinosaur have been discovered. What makes this finding even more significant is that the species may have weighed 80 tons - the weight of 14 African elephants - and grown up to 40 meters long - the size of two semi trucks. This would give the species the record for the world's largest dinosaur. The species does not have a name yet, but lived during the Mesozoic era, and much more of the excavation site is left to be discovered. Bones from the legs, neck, back and tail have been unearthed, and are complete enough that scientists think they have good precision for their size estimates.
