A Giant Diplodocus Just Turned Up Where Scientists Never Expected

A dinosaur long thought to belong exclusively to North America has turned up in Spain, offering a 150-million-year-old clue to how giants moved between continents. Paleontologists at the Fundación Conjunto Paleontológico de Teruel-Dinópolis have identified the first evidence of Diplodocus outside North America. Their study, published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, places the familiar long-necked sauropod in Europe during the Late Jurassic period.
