A decade after local residents in northeastern Thailand first noticed ancient bones emerging from stone, scientists have formally named a new species of colossal sauropod — Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis — a creature stretching thirty meters and weighing the equivalent of nine adult elephants. The discovery, led by Thai doctoral student Thitiwoot Sethapanichsakul in collaboration with University College London, places this titan at the very edge of its era: the geological record suggests it may have been the last great sauropod to walk Southeast Asian soil before rising seas swallowed the landscape
