SANTIAGO : A duck-billed herbivorous dinosaur roamed the ancient and remote river plains of Patagonia in southern Chile some 72 million years ago, a new study revealed on Friday.
In 2013, an expedition led by the Chilean Antarctic Institute discovered fragments of yellowish bones at the bottom of a hillside close to the major tourist destination Torres del Paine in Patagonia. This kicked off an almost decade-long investigation. Alarcon said researchers extracted more than 100 pieces and it was difficult to pull them out without damaging others. After that, scientists had to make sure the bones belonged to the same species and check them with existing research to verify that it was indeed a new species.
The extensive research allowed scientists to digitally reconstruct the skeleton and the team is hoping to 3D print it to display it to the public.
