Scientists identify largest dinosaur ever found in Brazil
After 63 years of studying, Brazilian paleontologists have identified the bone fossils of one of the largest dinosaurs that ever roamed the earth.
The fossils were found in 1953 by a late Brazilian paleontologist who also assembled the bones and brought them to his colleagues. It took the scientists at Brazil’s Earth Science Museum over 60 years to examine and study the bones in order to confirm the characteristics of the dinosaur.
Reports say the dinosaur which is given the name 'Austroposeidon magnificus' was 25 meters long and had an eight-meter-long neck.
He was also nicknamed The Brazilian Gaunt since his vertebrae are the biggest one ever found in Brazil.
The vertebrae are currently put on display at the Earth Science Museum in Rio de Janeiro.
