Supersaurus
length estimates placed it as one of the longest dinosaurs, including a 2008 estimate of 33 to 34 metres, but those were based on incomplete data, he says. When the Dry Mesa Dinosaur Quarry was excavated, researchers wrapped large blocks of rocks and fossils in plaster jackets. According to Curtice, some still remain unopened today. He has started studying them and found five new neck vertebrae, one new back vertebra, two new tail vertebrae, and a left pubis.,” Laura Geggel for Live Science writes.
What's more, the size and shape of the newly identified bones support the idea that all of the colossal bones found at Dry Mesa belong toOnce his as-yet-unpublished paper goes through peer review, Curtice’s findings will resonate more, a colleague suggests. "I think the final verdict will come when this Goliath specimen [that Curtice is using to inform his analysis] is published, when this additional material from Dry Mesa is published. I want to see it go through formal peer review," Matt Lamanna, a vertebrate paleontologist at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, who was not involved with the research, tells"I think it will be pretty exciting when he does," Lamanna adds.
