Introducing Australotitan: Australia's largest dinosaur was as big as two buses combined
FirstpostNicknamed Cooper, it lived in southwest Queensland between 92–96 million years ago, when Australia was attached to Antarctica. Our study published in the journal PeerJ documents Australotitan cooperensis – Australia’s largest dinosaur species ever discovered, and the largest land-dwelling species to have walked the outback. Thousands of kilograms bones in a backpack We needed to compare Cooper’s bones to all other species of sauropod dinosaur known from both Australia and overseas, to confirm our suspicions of a new species. What’s more, during Cooper’s excavation we uncovered another smaller sauropod skeleton — possibly a smaller Australotitan — trampled into a nearly 100m-long rock feature.
