Dinosaurs are animals that existed at least 65 million years ago, and people have determined their existence through the fossils they left in the formation, and their fossils are almost all over the world, indicating that dinosaurs were once a universal creature on Earth.
According to Brazilian media reports, archaeologists from the National Museum of Natural History, the Federal University of Pernambuco and the University of Carilly recently claimed in Rio de Janeiro that they had found a new dinosaur fossil in the Alarippi Basin in the northeastern State of Ceara, which is believed to be a new breed of dinosaur, and archaeologists have named it "Alatalong".
The "Alataron" fossil is 3.12 meters long and weighs about 34.25 kilograms, and after analyzing the bone age of the fossil, it was found that this dinosaur was not fully developed when it died, and it was still a small dinosaur. Archaeologists believe that the Alarippi Basin where the fossil was found was once a large lake, has been experiencing changes in the vicissitudes of the mulberry field, many dinosaurs once lived in this place, and the discovery of the "Ala Tarron" fossil also made archaeologists realize that there are unknown dinosaur species in the area.
Through the analysis of its fossil characteristics, "Alatalong" should be a carnivorous dinosaur, from the analysis of its location, it lived about 115 million to 111 million years ago in the Cretaceous Period.
Archaeologists have also found that the "Alatalong" is very similar to the early Jurassic Left Dragon discovered in Wucai Bay, Xinjiang, China in 2001, and the Left Dragon lived about 160 million years ago. The two are similar in size, length and weight, and the living environment is relatively dry and rainy, and it is believed that they should be related. However, China's Xinjiang region is far away from Brazil, and the distance of nearly 20,000 kilometers is still far away from the ocean, so how can it climb up to the pro? It's unclear why the two dinosaurs were so similar, and it is speculated that dinosaurs similar to them were likely to have spread all over the world at the time.
