Over the course of four days, scientists assembled a cast of the biggest dinosaur discovered to date. The cast assembled at Chicago's Field Museum, named Maximo, is 37 meter across and stands six meter tall at the head. Maximo is a member of the species Patagotitan mayorum, a long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur that lived over 100 million years ago in what is now Patagonia, Argentina. The cast takes up a third of the museum's main hall. Maximo is modeled from the fossil bones of seven individual dinosaurs of the same species that were excavated from a quarry.(Photo/IC)
