Readers Write: Dinosaur find captures one’s imagination

The Island Now

In Argentina they recently dug up the bones of the largest dinosaur ever found.

!31 feet long, 60 feet tall, 77 long tons. 

It is difficult to imagine this  size.  Twice as tall as a two-story house including its peaked roof. 

Our 10-room home has the garage tacked on one end an is thus about 70 feet long (and that guy was twice as long. 131 feet !!)

They showed a picture of a man laying alongside the thigh bone.  It appears to be about 10-feet long and as thick as an oil drum (about two feet across)

Since an extremely small percentage  of animals are preserved it is for sure that this one may have only been your  slightly above  “average” dinosaur
