Nearly
a dozen new kinds of dinosaurs have been unearthed here
in the last ten years. One is the fearsome Giganotosaurus
(JIH-guh-NO-toe-SAW-rus), the biggest meat eater ever on
land. Another is the one-hundred-ton plant eater Argentinosaurus
(ahr-jen-TIN-uh-SAW-rus), the largest dinosaur of all.

A
young Argentine scientist, Dr. Fernando Novas, was digging
in one of the hills around Plaza Huincul in 1997 when he
made a spectacular discovery—a huge dinosaur claw.
The fossil bone was more than 13 inches long. On a living
dinosaur, the bone would have had a covering of hornlike
material, and that could have made it 15 inches or longer!
Dr.
Novas also found a few foot bones of the same dinosaur.
Together, these bones both puzzled and astounded him.
