UM-Bot Posted September 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The enormous prehistoric reptile was so massive that it weighed the same as seven Tyrannosaurus rex. Known as Dreadnoughtus schrani, which means "fear nothing", the huge dinosaur is the latest entry in the supermassive group of sauropod dinosaurs known as the titanosaurs.

Still Waters Posted September 5, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The dinosaur, whose scientific name means "fear nothing" and is nicknamed "Dread," is described in the latest issue of Scientific Reports. Dread measured 85 feet long and weighed about 65 tons I don't think I would fear anything either if I was that size There's a video in this link - http://www.telegraph...-look-puny.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersonFromPorlock Posted September 5, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Next, Japanese paleontologists announce the discovery of the even larger "Yamatosaurus." Edited September 5, 2014 by PersonFromPorlock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllJay Posted September 6, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Next, Japanese paleontologists announce the discovery of the even larger "Yamatosaurus." Yeah, but I hope we don't get a Bismarckosaurus etc. This battleship-metaphors **** just has to go. And maybe in the future, when we could travel to distant planets we found one with at size of our sun, and we dig up long dead beasts with lengths and widths of like 6 kilometers, and weighs some 85 million metric tons. Then we probably have names like Galaxyosaurus etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Merton Posted September 6, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 6, 2014 It looks like the thing just didn't know to stop growing and killed itself being too big. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
