Makuhari Messe:

On Sunday, experts in Tokyo finished assembling a replica of what they claim is the world's biggest dinosaur skeleton.

The replica was expected to be displayed for the first time at an exhibition hall in suburban Tokyo on Monday afternoon.

The assembling of the 35-meter long skeleton of Mamenchisaurus is a part of preparations for a dinosaur exhibition starting later this week at Makuhari Messe, Chiba prefecture, northeast of Tokyo.

The original bones of the dinosaur were discovered in Dzungaria, north western China in 2001. The dinosaur was herbivore and is believed to have lived during the upper Jurassic era.
