Discovered in 1877, Amphicoelias Fragillimus is the biggest dinosaur that ever lived and roam the earth. Based on surviving descriptions of a single fossil bone, this gigantic pre-historic creature is believed to be between 40 and 60 meters, and has a weight of up to 122 metric tons. It is also the longest of all the dinosaurs ever discovered.
Amphicoelias Fragillimus was discovered by Oramel Lucas, a fossil collector, in 1877. He discovered a partial vertebra – the neural arch and spine – in Garden Park, north of Cañon City, Colorado. The vertebra was in poor condition. Hence the name fragillimus, a Latin word meaning “very fragile”, which refers to the delicateness of the bone produced by very thin laminae (vertebral walls). The specimen was very huge. It measured 1.5 meters in width and 2.7 meters in height.
That single vertebra were lost at some point after being studied and described. As a result, the only evidence of A. Fragillimus’ amazing size is only in drawings and field notes.

This is actually wrong. Bruhathkayosaurus is much bigger
and it’s not even sure that Bruhathkayosaurus is the biggest dinosaur. Amphicoelias fragillimus is the longest dinosaur that lived but it only weight’s up to 122.4 tonnes.
