NOTES:	Argentinosaurus, recently discovered in Argentina, will probably turn out to be the largest dinosaur yet discovered, larger than Ultrasauros or Seismosaurus. although Seismosaurus will likely continue to hold the record for total length due to its extremely long tail, characteristic of Diplodocidae. Scientists have prepared several vetabrae and the pelvis. The cross section of one vertebra of Argentinosaurus measures over five and one half feet in height.
