A Portuguese man has been surprised to discover what could be the largest dinosaur ever found in Europe in his backyard. 9News
Building works were beginning on the property when the bones of the sauropod, the largest of all dinosaurs and the largest land animal to have ever lived, were discovered.The dinosaur was discovered in Pombal, north of Lisbon in 2017 and is currently undergoing excavation by paleontologists.A team of international researchers are now studying the remains, which suggest the long necked, long-tailed herbivore was about 12 metres in height and 25 metres long.
Many of the exposed wrecks still contain ammunition and explosives, along a stretch of the river near Serbia's river port town of Prahovo.The University of Texas at Austin "What we've got is amazing," Rowe said in a statement. "It's not a charismatic site with a beautiful skeleton laid out on its side. It's all busted up. But that's what the story is."
A chemical analysis of the sediment around the mammoth bones showed that the fire was sustained and controlled rather than caused by a wildfire or lightning strike. There was also evidence of bone that had been pulverized as well as burned small animal remains, including birds, fish, rodents and lizards.
The ring, which weighs about 11 grams, is made of twists of gold that is comparable to the latter Iron Age - the time of the Vikings. Details deduced from seven coins describe a city named after a king called Natounissar and a location on the Lower Zab River, known in ancient times as the Kapros River.
