(Not pictured below but similar)
One of the biggest most complete species of sauropods has been found in Patagonia.This one has been classified under a new group of titanosaurs. Titanosaurs where much larger then the average sauropods.
This herbivore had a really strong, massive neck, and grew up to 112 feet long and 4 stories high. It roamed in what is now Patagonia over 80 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous. What makes this a more amazing find is that 70 percent of it is preserved. The average percentage of preservation of other dinosaur of this size is about 10%. The entire vertebrae of this dinosaur from head to tail was found complete.
His name means "giant Chief of the lizards."
