And by gigantic they mean 3,000 pounds. The scientists were surprised by its size because most assume that as dinosaurs got more birdlike, they got smaller. It's 35 times heavier than similar feathered dinosaurs, which rarely exceeded a body mass of 90 pounds.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2007/06/scientists_disc.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/blog.wired.com/img/2925733D-2347-47C6-B389-3569BB83814B" alt="Femur" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2007/06/scientists_disc.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/blog.wired.com/img/62A4C468-2932-421F-AA44-83ED4FD58730" alt="Micro_structure_2" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2007/06/scientists_disc.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/blog.wired.com/img/839D07EE-B45E-4B1F-95A7-104812CD7FE7" alt="Ct_scan" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2007/06/scientists_disc.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/blog.wired.com/img/53818359-A504-450A-B0CF-2B8326D30D9C" alt="Dinosaur_skeleton_2" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2007/06/scientists_disc.html"><P>The authors estimate that the new dinosaur would have been about eight metres long and would have stood, at the shoulder, twice the height of a man. They suggest that a growth rate considerably faster than large North American tyrannosaurs contributed to this. The team also noticed lines of arrested growth on the fossil, indicating that it was still a young adult when it died, so the full-sized dinosaur may have been even larger than this. But, despite its great size, many features of its anatomy were more bird-like, rather than less, as would have been expected.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3C020AF7-49CA-4B08-A157-B704927AF722/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
