Prvo najdišče dinozavra v morju: izkopavajo 130 milijonov let stare kosti
The excavation team of international paleontologists is working on a site near the village of Bale in southern Istria. They are uncovering dinosaur bones that are about 130 million years old. This location represents the first discovered dinosaur site in a marine environment. Divers are continuously retrieving rocks from the seabed that contain fragments of the dinosaur skeleton, which appear to belong to a previously unknown species. The investigation is expected to continue for several years. When the research is completed, the recovered fossils will be displayed to the public at the natural history museum in Croatia.
Mednarodna ekipa paleontologov te dni na jugu Istre pri kraju Bale izkopava kosti dinozavra, stare 130 milijonov let. Gre za prvo najdišče dinozavra v morju, zato so na delu potapljači, ki na površje neumorno vlečejo skale, v katerih so deli okostja dinozavra – gre najverjetneje za novo, še nepoznano vrsto. Raziskave bodo verjetno trajale še leta, nekoč v prihodnosti pa bodo vsa odkritja na ogled javnosti v hrvaškem prirodoslovnem muzeju.
