Did the Biggest Dinosaur Ever Really Exist?

The Museum of Natural History in New York revealed its latest exhibit this month, reports fivethirtyeight.com.The exhibit features the gargantuan skeleton of a plant-eating sauropod. Many paleontologists think this is the largest dinosaur ever discovered. The dinosaur doesn’t even have a proper scientific name yet. It’s being called Titanosaur in the meantime. The skeleton is 122 feet long and 19 feet high, so big that its head pokes out into the museum’s elevator bay. / But in the museum’s files is a description of a vertebra for a dinosaur that would have dwarfed Titanosaur. This find would be bigger than any animal ever known. There’s only one problem. The described vertebra has been missing for over 100 years. And many scientists think that it may never have existed at all. / The vertebra piece^, was supposedly dug up outside of Cañon City, Colorado, in 1897.
