Scientists from China and the United States have found a huge fossilized dinosaur skeleton in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

It is thought to be the largest dinosaur fossil yet discovered in Asia.

The research was jointly conducted by paleontologists from the Chinese Academy of Science and the University of Chicago in the US.

The researchers are now busy with the follow up research, and assembling the skeleton.

Inner Mongolia has a glut of dinosaur fossils and has been attracting scientists from home and abroad in recent years.
