Remains from what could be the biggest dinosaurs ever found in Europe had been revealed in a human back garden in Portugal.
According to the BBC, the framework was found in the central city of the pombal in 2017, when a man began to build work in his home and pay attention to fossil bone fragments. Spanish and Portuguese Palaeontologists then dig a dinosaur in August this year. They believe that the fossil framework is from Sauropod, which is a herbivorous creature, four -legged that has a long neck and tail.
Sauropoda is the largest of all dinosaurs and the largest land animals ever lived. Experts informed that they lived during the Jurassic Period for about 150 million years ago.
Paleontologists dug up the spine and dinosaur ribs which show that the large reptiles are about 12 meters (39 feet) height and 25 meters long (82 feet).
Elisabethe Malafaia, post-Docoral researcher at the Faculty of Science, Lisbon University, told PHys.org, “It is not used to finding all the animal ribs like this, especially in this position, maintaining their original anatomy position.”
“This preservation mode is relatively uncommon in dinosaur fossil records, especially Sauropoda, from Jurassic over Portuguese,” he added.
Because of the natural position found in the framework, the researchers who worked on the excavation hoped that there were more than those who had not been explored.
The framework is now being studied by the International Research Team.
Meanwhile, this happened after researchers in the United States found dinosaur footprints from 113 million years ago. After the drought in Texas drying the river flowing through the State Park Dinosaur Valley, the track from the giant reptile was exposed.
