69🦕 A new scientific article was published today, in which Lic. Lucas Lerzo presents previously unpublished fossil remains of Cathartesaura anaerobica, a pre-bachisaur sauropod dinosaur that inhabited Patagonia, Argentina, 95 million years ago. It was one of the last dinosaurs of its group to walk the Earth before its extinction during the Turonian.
What can be seen in the video are the original Cathartesaura materials (ilium, a hip bone), which belong to the collection of the Carlos Ameghino Provincial Museum in the province of Rio Negro.
