SYDNEY Larry
Ogunjobi Youth Jersey , July 27 (Xinhua) -- Paleontologists announced the
discovery of "new" bones of an "old" dinosaur on Thursday, with the long thought
to be lost site of an Austrosaurus mckillopi found in Australia's outback.
The name Austrosaurus, meaning "southern lizard," was given to the
cretaceous-era sauropod back when it was discovered in 1932, but the dig site
was thought to be lost until it was rediscovered in 2014 by a team of
paleontologists.
Stephen Poropat from the Swinburne University of Technology spearheaded the
drive to find the long-lost
site David
Njoku Youth Jersey , and told Xinhua on Thursday that this find has the
potential to "tell us a lot" about how the evolution process for sauropod
dinosaurs occurred.
"What the dinosaur represents is one of the oldest sauropods dinosaurs from
the cretaceous period anyway, in Australia, it is actually represented by
several bones," Poropat said.
"Basically, the bones we dug up in
2014 Jabrill
Peppers Youth Jersey , and 2015, belong to the exact same animal that was
discovered in the 1930's. So together, those ribs and those vertebrae, not many
bones - but enough to do something with them - that is the only specimen of
Austrosaurus that has been found."
Poropat said by conducting a detailed analysis of the find, he was able to
ascertain some "distinct characteristics" of
Austrosaurus Myles
Garrett Youth Jersey , and hopes to find a more complete specimen to fully
develop an idea of the Australian dinosaurs position on the family tree -
despite the inherent challenges.
"The simple fact is that in remote Queensland, most of the discoveries are
made by people who make their living off the land. Paleontologists like me very
seldom get the opportunity to go out there and do sustained searches for
specimens," Poropat said.
"Also, because the Austrosaurus was buried in a marine environment, it's
actually an environment that you wouldn't look at and would think it is unlikely
to preserve these dinosaurs because they weren't living in the
sea Nick
Chubb Youth Jersey ,"
"If they were going to be buried at the bottom of the sea, their carcasses
would have to be washed into it, and then buried without being heavily
scavenged," he added.
Because of this, the paleontologist is not expecting to find many more
sauropods in the area that they surveyed;
however Austin
Corbett Youth Jersey , he is not ruling out anything as he continues his
search to discover the secrets of these long- extinct creatures.
"We don't expect too many more sauropods to be found in the near future in
that area," Poropat said.
"But of course, one chance discovery could change the game altogether."

jurisdiction during this national day of protest," Duterte said.
"Be vigilant of possible infiltrators who may instigate violence in an effort
to provide the police and other law enforcement authorities, and avoid causing
any undue inconvenience to their fellow citizens," Duterte said.
