These two Titanosaur are named Cooper and George 25 meters long. The biggest wave from the front foot is 1.5 meters long, weighs 100 kg. Museum manager Scott Hocknull said the size of each animal is equal to the size of two cars.

Their bones were discovered by cattle ranchers near Eromanga in 2005 and 2006. This town is 1,000 km west of Brisbane.

One of the campers said that the drought in the region was making the discovery of fossils easier.
