The colossal long-necked sauropod weighed as much as 27 tonnes \u2014 roughly the mass of nine elephants \u2014 and stretched nearly 27 meters (89 feet) in length, making it about twice as long as a Tyrannosaurus rex.<\/p>\n<p>The name Nagatitan combines \u201cNaga,\u201d the mythical serpent of Southeast Asian folklore, with chaiyaphumensis, honoring Thailand\u2019s Chaiyaphum province where the fossils were uncovered.<\/p>\n<p>But perhaps the most fascinating part of the discovery is when this giant evolved.<\/p>\n<p>A Dinosaur Born in a Superheated World<br \/>\nBetween 100 and 120 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period, Earth was locked in an intense greenhouse climate. Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were far higher than today, global temperatures were extreme, and tropical regions were often hot, dry, and seasonally harsh.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than preventing giant life forms from evolving, these conditions may have accelerated the rise of enormous sauropods like Nagatitan.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"\/global_warming\/Human-Climate-Adaptation.html\">Nagatitan: The Giant Dinosaur Forged by a Greenhouse Earth<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>From the album <strong>&#8220;<a href=\"\/albums\/Nagatitan\/\">Nagatitan<\/a>&#8220;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Silence] [Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums] [Intro] [Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Organ Swell, Muted Guitar Chops, Rising Synth Filter] [Verse 1] [slow build, low strings, distant percussion, ambient heat-haze synths] Born in the heat where the ancient seas rise, CO\u2082 thick in a copper-red sky, Stone turned to bone in the pulse [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[163,4229],"class_list":["post-53385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-4d-music","tag-climate-change","tag-nagatitan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53385"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53392,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53385\/revisions\/53392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
