Ten years after Walker's discovery, another part-time palaeontologist entered the spotlight. Car mechanic Ruben Carolini was a fossil enthusiast who spent much of his spare time out in the field. While visiting the 'Valley of the Dinosaurs' in Neuquen province, Argentina, Carolini spotted some exciting-looking bones and called in the experts, led by Rodolfo Coria
from Carmen Funes Museum. The result - another great meat-eating dinosaur - was named Giganotosaurus carolinii, or 'Carolini's giant southern reptile'. It quickly became regarded as one of the biggest terrestrial carnivores - larger even than Tyrannosaurus rex. However, a 2006 review of already- known Spinosaurus fossils from Africa deduced that this spinosaurid was the world's all-time biggest land predator.
