The Associated Press: 105-Foot Dinosaur Unearthed in Argentina (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iGJds4L0q44m7IWynfx7Mgr0NXeAD8S9TC9G0)
"Most complete" giant dino, a new species, reported found (http://www.world-science.net/othernews/071015_dinosaur.htm)

Its name (pronounced foo-ta-long-koh-sohr-us) derives from the Mapuche Indian words for "giant chief of the lizards" and for Duke Energy Argentina, a company which helped fund the its excavation.

Apparently it's more than a foot long.

It would have measured at least 32m (105ft) in height

Maybe it was a collective entity of 105 foot-long mini-dinos. BORGASAURUS! :eek:

Not much use for a foot-long asparagus; at least until they start making foot-long buns.

[Dingfod]

At least they didn't name it dukeenergyasaurus.

[Watser?]

They don't really have a lot to go on though :chin:

That diagram doesn't seem to match the statementthe fos­sil was 70 per­cent pre­served, com­pared to about 10 per­cent for oth­er gi­ant di­no­saur finds

Is it like "we found 5 bones, and 70% of each of them was preserved"? :?

[But]

They should get a job in marketing.
