Largest mid Jurassic sauropod found?

Adam Khor · 2012-04-19 16:38:29

Where else? In China. May be a new genus, but doesn´t have a name yet. It is estimated to have been around 35 meters long and to weigh as much as six African elephants (which seems rather light weight for such a beast, to me anyways). A tooth from a large theropod was found nearby suggesting it fed on the sauropod.
