Summary
  • Nonfiction picture book tells the story of the discovery and life of this new dinosaur. The species is so new it doesn't have an official name at the time of publication. Includes glossary and a dinosaur time period chart.
  • Over 120 feet long. Heavier than 10 African elephants. Meet Titanosaur: the largest creature to ever walk the Earth! Join paleontologists José Luis Carballido and Diego Pol on the adventure of a lifetime, and learn all about how they uncovered more than 180 titanosaur bones in the deserts of Argentina, forever changing our understanding of these 100-million-year-old creatures. After excavating the skeletons of seven of these giant sauropods, Dr. Carballido and Dr. Pol and their team transported them to a museum in Argentina, studied them, replicated them, and built the biggest dinosaur skeleton the world has ever seen! With inside information on how to keep fossils from breaking, the secret to a successful dinosaur dig, and just how much we can really learn from a tooth, this book will not only delight dinosaur lovers - it will inspire young scientists! --
