Argyrosaurus
Argyrosaurus was a huge, long-necked plant-eater that lived in what is now Argentina. It was a titanosaur, a group of sauropods known for their enormous size. This dinosaur is known from a single left forelimb, but that arm was already huge!13

Fakte argëtuese
The only sure fossil of Argyrosaurus is a huge left forelimb, including the upper arm bone, two lower arm bones, and all five hand bones.1
When the forelimb was found, the rest of the skeleton was there too, but it was completely destroyed during digging.1
Many other fossils were later thought to belong to Argyrosaurus, but scientists now think most of them are from different titanosaurs.1
One of those misidentified fossils was even given its own new name: Elaltitan lilloi.2
Argyrosaurus lived about 70 million years ago, near the very end of the Age of Dinosaurs.1
The name Argyrosaurus means 'silver lizard' because it was found in Argentina, which means 'silver land'.1

- Scientists are not sure exactly how Argyrosaurus is related to other titanosaurs. It might have had wrist bones, which most titanosaurs lacked, suggesting it was a more primitive member of the group.2
