The fossil was discovered in 2012, and excavations began in 2015.
Although excavations are not complete, the bones which have been excavated suggest an enormous dinosaur.

However, it is clearly a bang out of titanosaur.
More exciting discoveries can be expected as the fossil continues to emerge from the earth.
