Australotitan cooperensis ini memiliki panjang 25-30 meter dan tinggi 5-6,5 meter.
Beratnya antara 25 sampai 81 ton. Sebagai perbandingan,
Tyrannosaurus rex memiliki panjang sekirar 40 kaki (12 meter) dan tinggi 12 kaki (3,6 meter).
Ahli paleontologi yang terlibat dalam penemuan itu, mengatakan, fosil tersebut salah satu dari 15 dinosaurus terbesar yang pernah ditemukan di dunia dan memiliki ukuran sama dengan raksasa yang ditemukan di Amerika Selatan.
Tulang fosil pertama sebenarnya digali kembali pada tahun 2006 dan 2007.
Setelah bertahun-tahun melakukan analisis, ahli paleontologi dari Museum Queensland dan Museum Sejarah Alam Eromange, dapat mengonfirmasi bahwa tulang tersebut berasal dari dinosaurus terbesar di Australia.
Cooper’s fossilized skeleton was found in the southern-central Winton Formation of the Eromanga Basin, a Mesozoic sedimentary basin in northern Australia. This specific discovery was in the Queensland portion of the Eromanga basin, next to Cooper Creek, from where the name of the new dinosaur species is derived.
A reconstruction of the osteological remains and limb-size comparisons using 3D surface scan modelling, led to a comparative understanding of the appendicular skeleton between the Australian finds and their South American counterparts, who were found to be slightly larger.
The
Daily Mail reports that dinosaur bones are typically large, heavy and fragile, and carefully preserved in museums thousands of kilometers apart, making comparisons between dinosaur fossils challenging. Fortunately, modern technology is rife with possibilities that help bridge this distance, especially through the use of 3D scans . The 3D scans we created allowed me to carry around 1
Officials in Australia have confirmed the discovery of a previously undiscovered species of dinosaur, the largest ever found on the continent, and one of the largest to have ever lived. A study published Monday in the scientific journal Paleontology and Evolutionary Science describes how bones originally discovered in 2006 have been officially designated as Australotitan…
