The supermassive dinosaur, which would have weighed as much as 60 small cars, is believed to have  perished in a bog some 77 million years ago, palaeontologists said September 4, 2014. Lacovara, an associate professor in Drexel University's College of Arts and Sciences, discovered the Dreadnoughtus fossil skeleton in southern Patagonia in Argentina and led the excavation and analysis. The fossil was unearthed over four field seasons from 2005 through 2009 by Lacovara and his team.]]></image:caption>
