'Giant dino' found in Argentina

A possible new species of giant plant-eating dinosaur have been discovered in Argentina. The new dinosaur name, proposed as, Futalognkosaurus dukei, once roamed the Earth some 80 million years ago. The dinosaur is estimated to measure at least 32m in length, making it one of the biggest dinosaurs ever found according to the Argentinians and Brazillians palaeontologists who studied it. The skeleton found in Patagonia appears to represent a previously unknown species because of the unique structure of its neck. Its name derives from the Mapuche Indian words for "giant chief of the lizards" and for Duke Energy Argentina, a company which helped fund its excavation.
