A multinational group of paleontologists has described a new titanosaurian dinosaur, named Dreadnoughtus schrani, from Upper Cretaceous sediments in southern Patagonia, Argentina. It is the most complete giant titanosaur yet discovered, and provides new insight into the morphology and evolutionary history of these supermassive dinosaurs. |
“With a body the size of a house and a weaponized tail, it would have feared nothing,” the scientist said. As a result, he chose the name Dreadnoughtus, meaning ‘fears nothing.’
