Making Máximo the Titanosaur

How do you assemble the world's largest dinosaur? This is what four days of work looks like in under a minute.
A team from Museo Paleontológico Egidio Feruglio in Argentina, together with Field Museum staff, assembled our 122-foot-long cast of Patagotitan mayorum, the biggest dinosaur that's ever been discovered. The cast arrived in two shipping containers on May 21, 2018. The largest piece-a section of vertebrae weighing literally one ton-was lifted via crane through our front door.

WOW what a skeleton. i love to see it in person somehow. i wish it can come to life in Museum Alive or in Night at the Museum 4

Is it the original fossil or a replica?

[@charlysteiger]

there are ALWAYS replicas....not a single bone ever, todos de yeso o fibra de vidrio......toda la movida "dinosaurio" que genera millones, como por ejemplo, para que un gobierno pague por "tener uno", es todo sarasa....que casualidad que jamas se encuentran diferencias entre machos y hembras, o especímenes juveniles....muy raro...no me cierra.

Wonderful skeleton but where are the ribs?

[@TheFieldMuseum]

The ribs were the very last part to go up- they're in place now! And it's a pretty awesome view: instagram.com/p/BjxR2DKgK-g/?taken-by=fieldmuseum

@@TheFieldMuseum Can you do a video that the cameraman walks around the museum and tells you about the exhibits? I would love that because I can't go there because y'know, It's closed.
