Hello I come to bring great news, as many know Argentina is a paleolithic treasure on a global scale, and also the place with more genres of dinosaurs discovered after China and the United States.

Four years ago the infomarcion of the new competitor for the greatest dinosaur of all time was revealed, the recently named Patagotitan, now hundreds of kilometers to the north, a new candidate to breakthroughs apears.

The new species and genus of prosauropods discovered in the province of San Juan cradle of the well-known Herrersaurus and Eoraptor (Considered by many to be the first known dinosaurs).

A couple of days ago some information about this new animal was released, since its length is calculated between 8 and 10 meters in length, and its close weight in the tonaledas, despite its size, although it is not much for a sauropod, if it is for its time; it is estimated that the fossil rock found has an age between 237 and 201 million years ago, and with more certainty it is known that it could be between 210 and 205.

Only the cervical vertebrae, some dorsal and tail vertebrae, the lower part of the hind legs and much of the front legs have been found, so there is still much to investigate, but there is enough information to ensure that it was a large animal.

This animal is the new competitor for the Plateosaurus as the first great terrestrial animal discovered, but since so much similar size and antiquity will be debated, but without doubt this will be one of the great paleontological discoveries of what the year is going.
