London, Jan 12- What is expected to prove the largest dinosaur ever discovered is being assembled in the Natural History Museum here. The various remains of a mammoth specimen of this terror of the prehistoric world, found in the Tanganyika territory in Africa by the Cutler Expedition now there, were forwarded to the Museum and are being reconstructed by experts.

The plaster reproduction of the quadruped dinosaur from the Upper Jurassic stratum of Wyoming now on exhibition in the museum is 84 feet 9 inches long, and stands 12 feet 9 ½ inches high at the shoulder, but the African specimen promises to be larger.

“These finds will probably give us the largest specimen in the world, for there is every indication of a real giant.” Said a museum official.

It is expected it will prove more than 90 feet long and 20 feet high at the high legs.
