SA's new dinosaur discovery looks like this
The latest find of a 200-million-year-old dinosaur has been revealed at Wits University's Evolutionary Studies Institute. See pictures here.
The institution 's recent addition is the biggest part of the Highland Giant - the thigh bone and was found at the border of South Africa and Lesotho.
Researchers say the plant-eating reptile which is heavier than the tyrannosaurus rex is estimated to weigh about 14 tons.
The entire collection consists of an elbow, vertebrae and claw pieces.
Several parts of the species have been discovered in the past 20 years.
In 2013, 1550 fossil elements were found at the Cradle of Humankind outside Johannesburg and were also announced at the university. The new species of human ancestor was named the Homo naledi.
