'Enormous' dinosaur discovered in Australia

Australian scientists have confirmed the discovery of one of the largest dinosaur species ever in Eromanga, outback Queensland.

Formally named Australotitan cooperensis (meaning "the southern titan"), the plant-eating sauropod lived between 92 million and 96 million years ago, when Australia was attached to Antartica, according to a research paper published on Monday (June 7).

It's funny seeing Australotitan cooperensis all over the news at present.
Those interested in Australian palaeontology (like myself) have known for a long time about this titanosaur holotype called "Cooper" being the largest dinosaur ever discovered in Australia. I've been patiently waiting for this titanosaur to be described for over a decade!
So it's awesome to see it finally getting major attention again in the media :)
If you want to see the Australotitan bones, take a road trip out to the Eromanga Natural History Museum in south-west Queensland. It's worth the trip! :D

Dinosaur... we have them too. Small brain, big mouth but just not as news-breaking.

There's plenty of them in the parliament
