Eons: The Giant Dinosaur That Was Missing a Body
From end to end, its forelimbs alone measured an incredible 2.4 meters long and were tipped with big, comma-shaped claws. But other than its bizarre arms, very little material from this dinosaur had been found: no skull, no feet. Scientists were unable to create a full picture of this dinosaur until they began exploring quarries in 2006 and 2009. Part of the "Eons" series.
