From USA TODAY New 'massive' dinosaur skeleton discovered It stood two stories high at the shoulder. Its tail was almost as long as a city bus. And it tipped the scales at some 65 tons – heavier than a fully loaded semi-truck. Meet Dreadnoughtus schrani, a newly discovered dinosaur and one of the most massive land animals of all time. And it's not just a heavyweight. Never before has anyone found so many representative pieces of a super-large dinosaur. Other enormous dinosaurs are known from a few fragments of bone, but the recently unearthed remains of Dreadnoughtus are so complete and so beautifully preserved that they will provide unprecedented insight into how giant dinosaurs were related to each other, how fast they grew and how something so heavy lugged itself around. http://usat.ly/1rOb5Fb Get USA TODAY on your mobile device: http://www.usatoday.com/mobile-apps
