A massive “graveyard”, which was uncovered last June during the construction of a high-speed rail link near the city of Cuenca in Spain, contains 8,000 fossils and is considered the largest and most diverse cache of dino-era remains ever found in Europe, scientists say.
“We are sure that in future, [once we have] studied the huge amount of fossil material recovered from the site, the diversity will increase,” Sanz, who is in charge of the dig, said in an email.
The fossils date to some four million years before the dinosaurs went extinct, shedding new light “on these last European dinosaur ecosystems,” Sanz said.
