The findings - skull and spine typical of dinosaurs that lived about 240 million years ago
Paleontologists discovered during work in southern Brazil fossils of what may be one of the oldest dinosaurs in the world. Researcher Jorge Frigolo said Friday that the fossils - skull and spine - are typical of dinosaurs that lived 235 to 241 million years ago. The oldest fossils found so far were 210-230 million years old.
The findings were discovered by chance in the Dona Francisca area, during road construction works. Shortly after finding the fossils, Perigolo said: "There are many fossils that are still buried in the rocks. The samples we took out are typical of dinosaurs, but other, more primitive samples are from thecodonts (the ancestors of the dinosaurs)."
