The biggest dinosaur ever discovered in Australia: Australotitan.

The slop sealed the fate of the gigantic, long-necked leaf-eating dinosaur, concealing its bones until 2007, when the beast's parts were unearthed, dug out from beneath a cattle and sheep station near the small Australian town of Eromanga, population 119, in southwest Queensland.

The holotype specimen -- that is, the specimen used to describe this brand new species -- is detailed in a paper, published in the journal PeerJ on Monday, by researchers from the Queensland Museum in Australia and the Eromanga Natural History Museum.

"This new titanosaurian is the largest dinosaur from Australia represented by osteological remains," said Robyn Mackenzie, a paleontologist from the Eromanga Natural History Museum.

"The 3D scans we created allowed me to carry around thousands of kilos of dinosaur bones in a 7kg laptop," said Scott Hocknull, a paleontologist from the Queensland Museum who helped unearth Cooper.

The location of the find, near Eromanga, has become something of a hotspot for dinosaur discoveries in Australia.

Mackenzie and her family were able to establish the Eromanga Natural History Museum, which now proudly displays Cooper, on the back of the find
