    Too bad S373 didn't exist back then. Maybe the dinosaurs could have been saved, instead of going extinct due to careless owners letting their pets go.

    Fascinating read, though I would have liked to hear more about how long that particular species was. I'd imagine it was huge if it was eating neonate sauropods (the article seemed to be trying to imply it could have been large enough to potentially eat much larger ones, but I highly doubt that). Thanks for the article.

    Neonate sauropods could be surprisingly tiny - hatchling skeletons at Auca Mahuevo in Argentina would have been about 15" long - and a lot of that is neck and tail.

    Still, a very, _very_ cool discovery!

    Wow, I wasn't aware of that. A lot of my knowledge of dinosaurs comes from the early 90's, so it's a bit outdated. That'd be some serious growth though.
