Giant sauropod dinosaur smaller than thought
Highlights
Using new three dimensional modelling, scientists have found that the giant sauropod dinosaur, Dreadnoughtus, discovered by palaeontologists in South America in 2014, was not as large as thought earlier. The mass of the Dreadnoughtus was more likely to be between 30 and 40 tonnes, considerably less than original estimates of around 60 tonnes, the findings showed.
London: Using new three dimensional modelling, scientists have found that the giant sauropod dinosaur, Dreadnoughtus, discovered by palaeontologists in South America in 2014, was not as large as thought earlier. The mass of the Dreadnoughtus was more likely to be between 30 and 40 tonnes, considerably less than original estimates of around 60 tonnes, the findings showed.
"Estimating the body mass of an extinct animal from approximately 77 million years ago of this size from only its fossilised bones is extremely challenging and relies on the availability of certain data from living animals and modelling techniques," said one of the researchers Karl Bates from the University of Liverpool in Britain.
