I. Introduction to the Argentinosaurus The Argentinosaurus, translated to Argentine lizard, was believed to be 130 feet long and weighed a whopping 110 tons. It had a neck 35 to 45 feet long with a head size about 4 or 5 basketballs. Argentinosaurus was discovered in 1993 by Guillermo Heredia. It was unearthed in what is now Argentina and is also named after this South American country. Scientists have not yet found the complete skeleton of Argentinosaurus. Paleontologists found 4-foot-long vertebrae and 5-foot-long tibiae belonging to Argentinosaurus. Argentinosaurus is classified as a sauropod. A sauropod is a very large quadrupedal herbivorous dinosaur. Sauropods had long necks and tails, small heads, and massive limbs. It can also be classified as a titanic sauropod. Titanic sauropods ranged from 7 to 110 feet in length with small brains. One question you may have is: was Argentinosaurus herbivorous – it fed only on plants, or carnivorous – it fed only on meat? It was a herbivore. They ate seed ferns, ferns, mosses, horsetails and other varieties of various plants. Scientists don't know for sure whether Argentinosaurus is the largest dinosaur, but it is renowned for its size. The Argentinosaurus was discovered next to the remains of the Gigantosaurus. Argentinosaurus was one of the largest herbivores. It was as long as three school buses in a row. He was also able to gain 100 pounds a day, which allowed him to gain a ton in just 22 short days.II. Mesozoic Era: Cretaceous PeriodDuring the Cretaceous Period, continents traveled across the ocean. The enormous landmass, known as Pangea, was slowly crumbling. At the end of the Cretaceous period, 80 million years later, the ocean water begins... middle of the paper... the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic periods.V. We as humans compared to the Argentinosaurus. To start, the average height of males in the United States is five feet nine inches. The average male weight is 195.5 pounds. The average height of the female is five feet four inches. The average female weight is 166.2 pounds. Overall, the average height of an American is five feet six inches. The average weight of an American is approximately 181 pounds. Compared to an Argentinosaurus, the average person living in America is about 11/80 the size of an adult Argentinosaurus, which is comparable to an average adult standing next to a three-story building. Measuring by weight, approximately 1,337 humans could fit inside an adult Argentinosaurus. Argentinosaurus was intimidating and petrifying at first sight, and was one of the largest land animals to ever roam the Earth.
