DIG IT!: For a boy in Argentina, weekends in the desert mean searching for and studying dinosaur fossils
2006
Overview
On most Fridays, Santiago and his dad drive 55 miles from their home in Neuquen (new-KEN) to a desert area of Patagonia. Patagonia includes the southern halves of Argentina and Chile. It's bigger than Texas and California combined and once was a lush forest where many animals lived. Patagonia is a very diverse region with high mountains in one area, glaciers in another and a desert, too. Argentina was the home of the largest dinosaur --- the Giganotosaurus, which had a 45-foot body, a 6-foot-long head and 8- inch piercing teeth. The Argentinosaurus, which was the largest plant-eating dinosaur, lived here, too. It stood 70 feet tall and was 120 feet from head to tail. (You can see a replica of it at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta.) CAPTION: MEI-LING HOPGOOD / Special Nine-year-old [Santiago Calvo] helps his dad, [Jorge Calvo], and other paleontologists look for dinosaurs in Patagonia, an area of Argentina and Chile where lots of dinosaur bones have been found.
