A QR code (quick-response code) is a type of two-dimensional matrix barcode. Japanese company Denso Wave invented it in 1994 for labelling automobile parts.  A QR code has a square, which contains other elements. There are black squares. These are arranged in a grid. Some of the parts are not filled, usually they are white. Some parts of the code are markers. These markers help with reading and decoding the information. Usually, the code is read by an imaging device, such as a camera. The information in the image is then decoded. QR codes have Reed–Solomon error correction. This means that even if parts of the code cannot be decoded, or they are wrong, the code can still be used.  The required data are then extracted from patterns that are present in both the horizontal and the vertical components of the QR image. Information types. In many ways, QR codes are similar to barcodes. They can hold more information, and they also can hold different types of information: Compared to the standard barcodes, QR codes were also used for other things than labelling car parts because the image can be read more quickly, and because more information can be stored. Applications include product tracking, identifying an item, tracking time, document management, and general marketing.  Information capacity. The amount of data that can be represented by a QR code symbol depends on the data type ("mode", or input character set), version (1, ..., 40, indicating the overall dimensions of the symbol, i.e. 4 × version number + 17 dots on each side), and error correction level. The maximum storage capacities occur for version 40 and error correction level L (low), denoted by 40-L: Here are some samples of QR codes: Error correction. QR codes use Reed–Solomon error correction. There are different levels, depening on the level, with between 7% and 30% of the data bytes missing, the code can still be read correctly:  In larger QR symbols, the message is broken up into several Reed–Solomon code blocks. The block size is chosen so that no attempt is made at correcting more than 15 errors per block

Rapetosaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur. It lived in what is now Madagascar from 70 to 66 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous period. Only one species, "Rapetosaurus krausei", has been found. Like other sauropods, "Rapetosaurus" was a quadrupedal herbivore. The discovery of "Rapetosaurus" was the first time a titanosaur had been recovered with an almost perfectly intact skeleton, complete with skull. It has helped to clarify some difficult issues in this large group of sauropod dinosaurs. It provides a baseline for the reconstruction of other titanosaurs that are known only from partial remains. By the early part of the Upper Cretaceous all sauropods, except the titanosaurs, were extinct. The titanosaurs were the dominant herbivores of the Upper Cretaceous on the southern continents which made up Gondwana. Their reign was cut short by the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
