	Argentinosaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Argentinosaurus (meaning "Argentina lizard") was a herbivorous sauropod dinosaur that was quite possibly the largest, heaviest land animal that ever lived.
		One vertebra had a length of 1.3 metres and the tibia was about 155 centimetres (58 inches) However, the spectacular proportions of these bones and the familiarity of the species' sauropod relatives allows paleontologists to estimate that full-grown specimens reached some 51 metres (170 feet)in length.
		Argentinosaurus was featured in the Walking with Dinosaurs special "Land of Giants", where a herd of Argentinosaurus travelled to a riverside to lay their eggs, being preyed on during the journey by a pack of Giganotosaurus.

		The overall length of Argentinosaurus is estimated to be about 110 feet, with a neck about 30 feet long.
		The weight of the animal is estimated to be about 100-120 tons, and the overall height is estimated at around 60 feet.
		Argentinosaurus is certainly not a brachiosaur; original classification in family Andesauridae is not presently in dispute.

	DINOSAURS: Family Titanosauridae
		This mid Cretaceous dinosaur was first recognised by Jose Bonaparte, and it actually took seven years to excavate this creature's vertebrae and a femur.
		Argentinosaurus would have roamed on land eating the lush and soft vegetation low from the ground.
		A strange feature of this dinosaur is that it had no grinding teeth, instead it had to take in the leaves directly with out chewing into paste, but it had strange stone like muscular balls in its stomach that are known as 'gastroliths'.

		Argentinosaurus may have stood as tall as 21 metres (70 feet) and measured an enormous 35 metres (115 feet) in length.
		Argentinosaurus was stalked by a truly awesome predator called Giganotosaurus.
		They would have singled out individuals that were young, weak or isolated from the herd and pursued them relentlessly, perhaps taking turns to bite and weaken their prey until they were exhausted.

		The legendary palaeontologist Don "Dino" Lessem is heading the project to reconstruct the two skeletons at the Fernbank Museum in Atlanta, Georgia.
		The Museum is reconstructing the two dinosaurs in its atrium, posed in an attack scene, along with footprints, giant winged pterosaurs and a nest of fossil eggs - all recovered in Patagonia.
		Relatively little is known about the Argentinosaurus, but the team were able to represent the entire animal by comparing Argentinosaurus' proportions and scaling up the missing bones in shape and size from those of closely related species.

		The great Argentinosaurus was dead, and had been for a while.
		Argentinosaurus was so heavy that its ribs were hollow: a characteristic of birds and meat-eating dinosaurs not seen before in plant-eating dinosaurs.

	The World’s Biggest Dinosaur \| Scholastic.com
		The first bone found of Argentinosaurus was discovered by a local rancher on his land, and he thought it was a fossil tree branch.
		The sandstone, full of large pebbles, in which the bones are fossilized indicates that the animal died and was buried in a fast-flowing stream that spread its bones over an area the size of a football field.
		Fossil wood found in the area suggests that these giant plant eaters fed on the branches of the evergreen trees that lived in the ancient forest that stood in what is now a windy scrub land.

		Argentinosaurus may have been the biggest dinosaur ever.
		Like some of the other really huge dinosaurs, such as Ultrasauros, very little of Argentinosaurus has been found, so it is hard to tell exactly what it may have looked like.
		Argentinosaurus was discovered by a retired oil worker and was formally described in 1993.

		Some of the fossil vertebrae from the Argentinosaurus, found in Argentina's Patagonia region, are bigger than a child.
		In Fernbank’s staging of the dino-drama, Argentinosaurus plays the role of prey, with a flock of pterosaurs flying overhead and a path of dinosaur tracks, cast from Patagonian trackways, stretching away from the dinosaurs’ feet.
		In 1999, there were reports about a “Rio Negro Giant” that surpassed Argentinosaurus in size, but Coria contends that the whole affair “was an overestimated finding.” The size of the bones was in line with those attributed to other sauropods, and the bones were so damaged that “they’re completely useless,” he said.

		Although Coria first described Argentinosaurus in an Argentinean journal in 1991, it was only in 1995 that word of the Gargantua spread beyond the paleontological grapevine.
		Argentinosaurus was a sauropod--a long-necked vegetarian--and it lived 100 million years ago, in the Cretaceous Period.
		Coria can’t be positive it was the biggest ever, because he hasn’t found the femur, which is the most reliable indicator of a dinosaur’s size and weight.

		Excluding Amphicoelias, Argentinosaurus in probably the largest known dinosaur, at 45m (150ft) long and possibly weighing up to 100 tonnes.
		Known from South America in the mid-Cretaceous period, Argentinosaurus was a member of the sauropod group known as Titanosaurs.

		Argentinosaurus was an herbivorous sauropod dinosaur that is fairly possibly the largest, heaviest land animal that ever lived.
		Not much of Argentinosaurus has been improved: just some back vertebrae, tibia, fragmentary ribs, and sacrum.
		However, the spectacular proportions of these bones and the knowledge of the species' Sauropod relatives allow paleontologists to estimate that full-grown specimens reached some 35 to 45 meters (115 to 150 feet).

		Local paleontologists told Reuters news agency that the dinosaur was probably 51 metres (167 feet) long, beating its current rival for hugeness, the 100-tonne Argentinosaurus by eight metres (26 feet).
		The remains of the as yet unnamed and unclassified creature were discovered in a dusty, barren area in the south called La Buitrera or "Vulture Rock", so named after all the vultures that make the area their home.
		Argentinosaurus was discovered not far from the area, and last April, Argentine paleontologists also uncovered the bones of a meat-eater thought to be bigger than Giganotosaurus, the biggest carnivore on record.

		In fact, just a couple of years before Chatwin’s death in 1989, an Argentinean rancher discovered some sauropod fossils that would soon be very big news in the world of dinosaurs.
		The Argentinosaurus, which lived about 90 million years ago in the Upper Cretaceous period, weighed up to 100 tons and measured between 30 and 45 meters (100–150 feet) in length.
		A few years ago several vertebrae were unearthed belonging to a still-unidentified dinosaur that may well challenge Argentinosaurus for the record of largest lizard ever.

		It is probable that sauropod dinosaurs spent a lot of time in the water to support their great bulk, because walking on land for a long amount of time would've gotten tiresome.
		When a farmer discovered the scarce remains of Argentinosaurus in his backyard in 1988, he hardly realized that he had found one of the biggest sauropods ever.
		However, there is a debate over whether Argentinosaurus is just a very large Diplodocus-like sauropod or its own species, since only the shinbone and some vertabrae were found.

		Argentinosaurus was a herbivorous sauropod dinosaur that is quite possibly the largest, heaviest land animal that ever lived.
		There were larger dinosaurs, but knowledge of them is based entirely on a small number of incomplete fossil samples.
		The largest specimens on record were all discovered in the 1970s or later, and include the massive Argentinosaurus, which may have weighed 80,000–100,000 kg (88–121 tons); the longest, the 40 m (130 ft) long Supersaurus; and the tallest, the 18 m (60 ft) Sauroposeidon, which could have reached a sixth-floor window.

		According to Smith, the only known dinosaur to have reached greater size than Paralititan was Argentinosaurus, which may be a close relative.
		"Paralititan is in the same family as Argentinosaurus-they are both titanosaurid sauropods," Smith said.
		Because of the similarity between the two dinosaurs and their obvious paleobiogeographical linkage, Smith said it is likely that the two had a common ancestor that once lived on the joint Africa-South America landmass.
