Finally! Something good from my country! In your face Argentina! LOL!
I know how rare sauropods are such as Rhoetosaurus and the Hudghedon Sauropod (A Brachiosaurid found in Queensland) and a few others. I am hoping Australia not only holds the record for the most unusual and bizaare dinosaurs (except for Therizinosaurs not found in Australia) but also for the biggest dinosaurs. We only find most of the time dinosaurs which maybe sub-species of others like Polar Allosaurs. Let's hope Australia beats the world-record this year in 2007!!!
AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!

I wonder how it could be bigger than Argentinasaurus when Austrailia is an isolated island. Wouldn't it have to be smaller? Or is Austrailia not volcanic, I forgot.

err, no, oh yeah, australia and antarctica where linked at that time, so australia might have had cryo! anyway, my fave mesozoic anphibian is.... the 5 mtr long koolasuchus!! WOOT! thats also in auz
PS. the bones are estimated, it means they where estimatly not fully grown, but mostly grown.

What do ya mean Tyrant? Why would that matter whether Australia had been separated? It had plenty of gigantic herbivores. This new discovery is no different. And no, Australia was not volcanic at that time and neither is it volcanic now because there is no volcanoes. Antarctica and Australia were joined to the mainland already but did slip away around the Cretacious period.
