Seven huge dinosaurs were discovered at the site and the bones are described as being in a remarkable state of preservation.They would have had a small skull but a very long neck and tail. The dinosaur specialist in charge of the study, José Luis Carballido, said that:
“It’s like two semi trucks, one after another, and the equivalent of more than 14 African elephants together in weight.”
He further added that:
“Such dimensions put the focus on the extent to which these animals may have grown. It’s a real palaeontological treasure.”
The dinosaurs were found along with a number of carnivorous dinosaurs, it is believed that they may have died during a drought. It is possible that they died of dehydration or became stuck in the mud.The carnivores may have ended up there to feed on the flesh of the huge dinosaurs.
