"Scientists think they have found a new species of giant plant-eating
dinosaur, Futalognkosaurus dukei, that roamed the Earth some 80m years
ago.
It would have measured at least 32m (105ft) in length, making it one
of the biggest dinosaurs ever found, Argentine and Brazilian
palaeontologists say."
"...The skeleton found in Patagonia appears to represent a previously
unknown species because of the unique structure of its neck.
Its name (pronounced foo-ta-long-koh-sohr-us) derives from the Mapuche
Indian words for "giant chief of the lizards" and for Duke Energy
Argentina, a company which helped fund its excavation.
"This is one of the biggest [dinosaurs] in the world and one of the
most complete of these giants that exist," said Jorge Calvo, director
of the palaeontology centre at the National University of Comahue,
Argentina."
And you know what the name "Patagonia" means, don't you? All the
pieces are falling into place, people.
