The Dhaka Times Desk Sometimes many things are found underground. This time, 140 million years ago bones weighing 500 tons have been recovered!
According to media reports, many objects are found starting from animal bones when digging the ground. Archaeologists have recovered a bone of 140 million years ago in this list of rescues. Archaeologists said that the weight of the bone is about 500 tons.
According to the country's media sources, this huge bone was discovered in a place in the Charente region of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region of southwestern France. However, researchers think it is a dinosaur thigh bone. The weight of the bone is about 500 tons!
The researchers claimed that the city of Konyak, near the excavation site, had swamps 140 million years ago. Researchers believe that herbivorous dinosaurs lived in these areas. The excavation of Angec Charente, where dinosaur bones were found, is one of the most important excavations in Europe.
Archaeologists have said that as of 2010, about 7,500 bones of 45 species of dinosaurs are still found in this area. "It's a really big bone," said Jean Frasois Tornopisch, director of the Angoulême museum, about the discovered thigh bone. It was preserved underground for so long.'
Sources said volunteers from the National Museum of Natural History in Paris discovered a large pelvic bone in that layer of soil alongside the thigh bone. They are trying to make a dinosaur skeleton by piecing together the different bone parts they have found so far. It is said that already about 50 percent of the structure has been erected.
