Austroposeidon magnificus. At only 25 meters long, It's on the small side when you compare it to goliaths like Argentinosaurus, but it's nothing to sneeze at. Seems to be a sister taxon to Lognkosauria and it was found in Brazil, not Argentina, making it half again the largest sauropod from that country.

Still though for sauropod standards that's fairly big of not average

Well, of course it's a gargantuan dinosaur, just not quite at the same level as the other giant titanosaurs.

I'd like to sign this letter on behalf of western Canada, please. The number of South American sauropods is getting slightly ridiculous.

You've gotta admit, Austroposeidon is a fantastic name.

Count me in too. AFAIK the only Canadian sauropod fossil we have so far is a trackway from somewhere in BC.
