UFSCar researchers identify dinosaur bone that lived more than 110 million years ago in Brazil

Researchers from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and the State University of Campinas (Unicamp) found, in the interior of Ceará (CE), the fossil of a dinosaur that lived more than 110 million years ago. The bone, which resembles a tree trunk, is a piece of the tibia of a species called Spinosaurus. The discovery helped paleontologists identify yet another piece in the 'puzzle' of the evolution of these animals.
