All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

"Paleontologists in Tanzania have found fossil fragments from a new species of giant dinosaur that walked the Earth.
The new dinosaur, named Mnyamawamtuka moyowamkia, is a member of Titanosauria, a diverse group of sauropod dinosaurs that includes species ranging from the largest known terrestrial vertebrates to ‘dwarfs’ no bigger than elephants.
“Although titanosaurs became one of the most successful dinosaur groups before the infamous mass extinction [that would be the Flood] capping the Age of Dinosaurs, their early history remains obscure, and Mnyamawamtuka moyowamkia helps tell those beginnings, especially for their African-side of the story,” said team leader Dr. Eric Gorscak, a researcher at the Field Museum of Natural History and the Midwestern University.
The partial skeleton of Mnyamawamtuka moyowamkia — including teeth, elements from all regions of the postcranial skeleton, portions of both limbs — was recovered from Cretaceous-age rocks of the Galula Formation in southwest Tanzania.
Titanosaurs are best known from Cretaceous-age rocks in South America, but other efforts by Dr. Gorscak and colleagues include new species discovered in Tanzania, Egypt, and other parts of the African continent."
