Paleontologists recently found the worlds largest dinosaur fossil in history. They found a new species of Titanosaur and just looking at the bone it is believed this creature would stand about 65 feet tall and about 130 feet long. The paleontologists estimated the weight of the creature would have been around 77 tons (155,000 pounds). By looking at the bones it is said that this was the largest creature to ever walk the Earth. To put the size difference in perspective a T-Rex only weighed 7 tons and this creature is 70 more tons. 65 feet would be around as tall as a 7 story building. They also found 150 other fossils in the same area that are carnivorous dinosaurs. They are all believed to die from dehydration or die from getting stuck in the mud.
