Alamosaurus Returns... Bigger Than Ever

Adam Khor · 2011-12-06 21:31:50

Finally an article on Alamosaurus' real size- it was in the same league as Argentinosaurus and all the other big guys. Best part is they found a Tyrannosaurus' tooth along with an Alamosaurus' bones! http://www.montana.edu/cpa/news/nwview.php?article=10634

About time. I always thought the size estimates for Alamosaurus seemed a bit on the small size for something that shared an eco system with T. rex.

My guess was scavenging....Mind you you wouldn't particularly need a heightened sense of smell to locate that much rotten meat. The trick would be not smelling it at anything less than a continent away.
