A farmer found the bones near La Flecha, at 200 km distance from the west of Trelew, Patagonia. A team delegated from the Museum of Palaeontology Egidio Feruglio, led by Dr Jose Luis Carballido and Dr Diego Pol, made the excavations and studies.

They found about 150 bones that belonged to the biggest dino in the world. Even if they couldn’t find the entire skeleton of the animal, the team could still figure out the measurements and shape.
