Diplodocus fossils found in Spain for first time outside North America

Researchers have confirmed the discovery of Diplodocus fossils in Teruel, Spain, marking the first time this dinosaur genus has been identified outside North America. The fossils, consisting of tail vertebrae, are estimated to be approximately 150 million years old. The find dates back to the Late Jurassic period and carries significant implications for our understanding of dinosaur distribution. Scientists believe that falling sea levels during that era may have created land bridges, allowing dinosaurs to migrate between continents.
