Argentina, Mar 2: Scientists have unearthed fossils of what may be the oldest and largest known dinosaurs, known as Titanosaurs, a diverse group of long-necked, plant-eating dinosaurs. A colossal (huge) dinosaur was dug up south of Argentina which possibly roamed around Patagonia region 140 million years ago, at the beginning of the Cretaceous interval.
The specimen, discovered seven years ago in Neuquén Province, northwest Patagonia, has been named ‘Ninjatitan zapatai’ after palaeontologist (a person who studies remains or fossils of plants and animals) Sebastian ‘El Ninja’ Apesteguia and technician Rogelio Zapata. The findings were published in the scientific journal Ameghiniana.
