Abstract
- The article focuses on the fossil finds by two paleontologists that are considered the largest and the oldest. It says that paleontologist James A. Jensen unearthed the matching shoulder blades, five vertebrae, and pelvis of a giant reptile that resembled the herbivorous dinosaur Brachiosaurus and was over 50 feet tall and weighed 80 tons. Paleontologist Norman Wakefield discovered in Victoria 355-million-year-old imprints of a web-toed, four-legged creature, which resembled Ichthyostega.
