The fossils of the largest dinosaur found in Portugal [TKB Europe]

A person living in Pombal city of Portugal had to do some construction behind his house. When he started digging the ground to make the foundation, he saw strange and big bones. He was surprised. He immediately sent that photo to the scientists of the University of Lisbon and gave information. University archaeologists rushed to the place and started mining work.

Earlier this month, paleontologists from Spain and Portugal completed the mining. They were surprised as soon as the work was completed. Because the fossils found are 82 feet long. These are the skeletons of the dinosaur that lived on the earth 145 million years ago. That is, the world’s largest dinosaur ever found in Europe. Before this, the fossils of such a large dinosaur had not been found in any European country.

Scientists told that the dinosaur that is being talked about there used to roam the earth from 100 million to 160 million years ago. This was also the time when Brachiosaurus altithorax roamed in North America and Giraffatitan brancai roamed in Africa. At that time Lusotitan atalaiensis was present in the western part of Portugal.

After examining the remains found, scientists have given the height of the dinosaur as 12 meters and the length as 25 meters. Elisabette Malafia, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Lisbon, said that this is a very strange discovery. Because the position in which this skeleton is, we can make a 3D body structure of that dinosaur. Can draw a map of the internal parts of his body.

Elisabette told that we are taking this fossil to the University of Lisbon. in order to keep it safe. Other studies can be done on that. At present, the big bones of body have been safely transported. Like ribs and back bone. After this the small bones will be transported. It will be placed in the university in the same order as it was here. After that we will do more mining in the surrounding areas. So that we can find out if other parts are not present.
