A huge carnivorous dinosaur has been found in Argentina, well, just the fossil remains, of course. But it's a new species, and scientists say it lived about 70 million years ago. Here's a video clip of the finding: uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wA00i8_I4I0

Makes me wonder just how many species are down there! Paleontologists have probably only just scratched the surface so far, there must be so much more to uncover as the dinosaur era time span was huge. Here's a link to more discoveries I just found: www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/05/020508072510.htm15" long claws, imagine that! ;D

I read about a giant dinosaur recently discovered which looks a bit like oviraptor only much much bigger! It had a head about 2 feet across and massive claws on it finger tips. I can't remember what it's called though? If I find some info on it, I'll post it on here. ;D ;D

I saw probaby the same thing in the newspaper recently. It stood as tall as T-rex and looks kinda ostrich-like. That would be cool to see in life. Or even in a JP movie!

I don't know if it's from the Jurassic period... Maybe Cretaceous?

Here's some info: Gigantoraptor erlianensisThe dinosaur world's latest star had a toothless beak, waved feathered arms incapable of flight and may have hunted only plants. But if you met Gigantoraptor erlianensis in a Mongolian forest 70 million years ago, best to have given it a wide berth. At more than 16 feet tall and roughly 3,000 pounds, the beast could stand eyeball-to-eyeball with a tyrannosaur, Chinese researchers say. Size comparison to man.

Good Find. There's no doubt that there's still a lot of Dinosaurs left To discover, That's what makes dinosaurs even more Majestic.

I'm hoping for an even larger sauropod discovery! Or even a 'freak' sized adult sauropod species that's already known, as some animals today can sometimes reach unusual sizes on rare occasions.
It excites me just thinking about all the dinosaurs that haven't even been found yet. Just what is still down there is anyones guess! ;D

I remember reading an article on a dinosaur magazine of the skeleton of a dinosaur, The leg..was almost half the size of a building, and that's all they ever found of it.
There were really truly gigantic dinosaurs back then. Some were Immense.

I believe it was a carnivore of some sort.

That is just rediculous, what niche did that dinosaur fill in its time? Did it feed on Sauropod eggs?
