Photo of the week: The Diplodocus dinosaur in Europe

This is the first time the Diplodocus dinosaur has been identified outside Europe. The discovery was made in the municipality of El Castellar, in Teruel (Spain), in the site of La Tejería.

The Teruel–Dinopolis Paleontological Ensemble Foundation has found 14 vertebrae of the tail and other bones, and the study has suggested that it belongs to a species of the genus Diplodocus, a genus only found in North America to date.

The remains, which are about 150 million years old, have once again allowed us to show that in the Late Jurassic there was a link between Iberia and North America.
