SANTIAGO, April 19 (Reuters) - Scientists in Chile s parched Atacama desert, the world s driest, have discovered the remains of a previously unknown species of dinosaur that millions of years ago lived among lush greenery in what is now a moonscape of rock and sand.

The so-called titanosaur had a small head and long neck and tail, as well as an unusually flat back compared with others like it.
