Precious stones were the remains of an ancient creature hitherto unknown, scientists lost the gift of speech

Researchers at the University of New England at Opel Fields, Australia, in Lyinging Ridge, discovered gemstones. In reality, the jewels were actually fossilized by the remains of a dinosaur, until then unknown to paleontology.

A new species was named Weewarrasaurus pobeni – in honor of the Opel Field of Wee Warra and Mike Poben, who introduced scientists to research material.

The paleontologist Phil Bell of the University of New England in Australia determined that it was a small species of ornithopods, a group of two-legged herbivores, which includes iguanodon and parazaurlof. Now, as noted, Bell and other researchers are working on the description of other opalozorozharnyh fossils.

The creature that became these opals lived on Earth almost 100 million years ago, at the time of the Cretaceous (it began about 145 million years ago ). and ended about 66 million years ago). As you know, this is the first open dinosaur species in the Australian state of New South Wales for about 100 years.

The only restored Weewarrasaurus fragment is the intact toothed lower jaw

Scientists have been able to rely on this fragment. Ancient animal: the dinosaur, for example, was not very big – no more than a medium sized dog.

Scientists report that, although in Australia, it is highly likely that only two large muttaburrazavres octopus have lived ( Muttaburrasaurus ri, which includes only one known species) and another dinosaur that is now being studied by experts, this area seems to harbor smaller species.

The researchers note that this situation is very different from that of the United States. the herbivorous dinosaurs were supposed to fight for food with giants like triceptopes and alamosaurs

Thus, new species, notably Weewarrasaurus pobeni allow to better know the characteristics of the variety of dinosaurs in different country. parts of the world.

Artaud has noted opals produced from bones, which requires millions of years. They occur on every continent, but it is Australia which accounts for about 97% of world production. Previously, the country was covered by the sea and the bodies of dead plesiosaurs had accumulated at the bottom.

Remember that a troubled water gushed out of a gigantic gray-ice (the kind of extinct giant bones of the Jurassic period), near which even the megalodon seemed to be a baby. [19659] .ua, the smallest dinosaur was the size of a chicken and weighed 3 to 5 kg, and the largest – a seismograph weighing up to 150 tons and an increase of more than 30 meters .
