Datos curiosos
Argentinosaurus is known from only a few bones: six back vertebrae, part of the hip, a rib, and a shin bone.1
The back vertebrae had extra joints called hyposphene-hypantrum, which helped support its huge body.1
Its ribs were hollow and tube-shaped, making the skeleton lighter.1
Argentinosaurus lived about 110 to 106 million years ago, during the Albian stage of the Cretaceous.5
The fossils were found on a farm called Las Overas, near the town of Plaza Huincul.1

Cazamitos
Mito: Argentinosaurus is the largest dinosaur ever discovered.
Verdade: Scientists are not sure. Because only a few bones have been found, its size is an estimate. Other giant sauropods like Patagotitan may have been similar in size.1
