Researchers conduct conservation excavations of fossils.

The dinosaur fossils found this time are located on the slopes of Dahuangtian Village at the junction of Jinshan Town and Zhongcun Township in Lufeng City, and due to soil erosion and other reasons, if excavations are not organized in time, they will face the risk of natural weathering damage.

Wang Tao, head of the Lufeng Dinosaur Fossil Conservation research center, said: "This should be a type of giant Lufeng dragon species, judging by its tail and thigh bone, it should be about 8 meters." ”
