Incredible!
A man found a huge dinosaur fossil in his backyard — and it may be the largest ever discovered in Europe.about the 82-foot beast. The property owner first discovered bone fragments while doing some construction work in 2017 in his yard, and contacted the university's research team. Researchers carried out the first excavation campaign that same year in Pombal, Portugal, and returned this year to further extricate the ancient remains.
The dino bones most likely belong to a sauropod that's almost 40 feet tall in addition to its extraordinary length. Considering it's between 100 and 160 million years old, the fossil is also in pretty good condition, they say. "It is not usual to find all the ribs of an animal like this, let alone in this position, maintaining their original anatomical position," Elisabete Malafaia, a postdoctoral researcher at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon said in the statement. "This mode of preservation is relatively uncommon in the fossil record of dinosaurs, in particular sauropods, from the Portuguese Upper Jurassic.
