Dwarfing Earth's Largest Dinosaur When compared to their counterparts today, animals and plants in the late Jurassic period, about 161 million to 145 million years ago, appear super-sized. Newly discovered dinosaur fossils show, however, that the largest animal to ever walk on Earth also came in a dwarfed version. |
