A 30-foot-long, 10 ton juvenile titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur of the genus Antarctosaurus is approached from behind by a 25-foot-long, two ton adult abelisaurid theropod dinosaur of the genus Abelisaurus deep in a forest in what is today Argentina. Likely a fierce predator, Abelisaurus resembled the larger Tyrannosaurus Rex that was to roam North America 10 million years later. Antarctosaurus was an herbivore that may have grown to 60 feet long and weighed up to 100 tons. Antarctosaurus had a squarish, blunt head with peg-shaped teeth.
