Museo Egidio Feruglio—AFP/Getty Images by [Sam Frizell](https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/) ## Sam Frizell May 17, 2014 2:11 PM UTC Move over, Godzilla. The [largest dinosaur ever known](http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-27441156) to walk the earth has been unearthed in Argentina, and it really is a monster. Based on its thigh bones, the dinosaur was 130 feet long and 65 feet tall, and at 85 tons, it was the weight of 14 African elephants. Basically, picture a seven-story building as long as a large yacht, and then add a set of teeth. Scientists believe it is a previously undiscovered species of titanosaur — a herbivore, luckily for other dinosaurs who lived during the Late Cretaceous period. The remains were discovered in the desert La Flecha about 135 miles west of Patagonia by a local farm worker, and excavated by paleontologists from Museum of Palaeontology Egidio Feruglio. About 150 bones have been found “in remarkable condition,” researchers said. The huge herbivore lived in the forests of Patagonia between 95 and 100 million years ago, the team said. \[[_BBC_](http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-27441156)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/103722/biggest-dinosaur-argentina/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/103722/biggest-dinosaur-argentina/"},"headline":"'Biggest Dinosaur Ever' Unearthed in Argentina","datePublished":"2014-05-17T14:11:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:54:12.366Z","description":"Godzilla has company with this newly discovered, seven-stories-tall marvel of nature.
