Largest Dinosaur Yet was Found in Argentina

More research, more big dinosaurs. While some were quite small (Velociraptor was the size of a large bird or dog), it seems that the big ones get people all atwitter. As sizes increased. the classification of titanosaur came into being. Patagotitan held the crown, but now Argentinosaurus may be the largest.

As is often the case, much is made out of little. They present reconstructions and artists' concepts, but these were made from a few leg bones and vertebrae (lower left in the photo above). Indeed, we have seen something from nothing used as one of our evolutionary ancestors, and we have seen them build grandiose schemes from very little. Still, let's go with it, as they are using other dinosaurs as patterns and excavation is continuing.

Many skeletons are bones and bone fragments that are scattered. This one had several that were together, which suggests rapid flood burial. Also, consider the Master Engineer. A the giraffe is a critter that has complex mechanisms in place to enable it to survive. How about one of these huge — bigly huge — dinosaurs and their design? No clue about evolution aside from guesswork, however.

A new skeleton of a sauropod may have broken the record for largest land animal that ever lived.

Dinosaur found in Argentina may be largest land animal ever (New Scientist). Argentinosaurus has been among the giants among giants. The prior record holder, Joshua Learn says, was named Patagotitan (think Patagonia titan). The new specimen, announced this week, may have taken the lead for size. Twenty-four vertebrae and some pelvis bones have been detected or excavated so far.

This next article has some overlap, but expands on some of the content in the above article's remarks about divine engineering. It also discusses the global Genesis Flood, and how there are plenty of rivers today pouring out sediment, but have nowhere near enough volume to produce billions of fossils. Then we have the biblical behemoth...

Whether dealing with athletes, sports teams, skyscrapers, or animals, we always want to know who or what takes the top spot. Researchers just published details about a new candidate for the biggest-ever dinosaur. Three features from this find and from the rocks wrapped around it support specific passages in the Bible.
