mass grave found in SwitzerlandDiscovery shows that area known for such finds may be larger than thought
The discovery shows that an area known for Plateosaurus finds for decades may be much larger than originally thought.
"It could be that the area extends for 1.5 kilometres (0.9 miles) and in that case, you could certainly say it's the biggest site in Europe," said Martin Sander, a dinosaur paleontologist at the University of Bonn in Germany. Weird Science
The Frick area contained the bones of one animal per 100 square meters, Sander said, so the entire area might contain bones of 100 more Plateosaurus.
The peaceful herbivore — measuring up to 30 feet from head to tail — roamed river deltas in large herds some 210 million years ago, according to some scientists, when most of Switzerland was covered with desert and its landscape may have looked much like the estuary of the
Nile now.
