Dinosaur mass grave discovered in Flick by Ana Maria Ciobanu

An amateur paleontologist in Switzerland made a huge discovery, literally. He may have discovered Europe's largest dinosaur mass grave after he unearthed the remains of two Plateosaurus.The hobby paleontologist was house-building in the village of Frick, near the German border when he discovered the bones.This important discovery may prove us that the area known for Plateosaurus finds for decades may be much larger than we originally thought.According to a dinosaur paleontologist at the University of Bonn in Germany the area might extend for 1.5 kilometers and this would make it the largest site in Europe.The paleontologist Martin Sander also said that the bones of one animal were spread per 100 square meters and that this could mean the area contains bones of 100 more Plateosaurus.Plateosaurus were bipedal herbivores that dominated the European arid landscape. It was the largest known dinosaur of its time, reaching 6 to 10 m in length and approximately weighted 700 kg.Two other large Plateosaurus sites can be found in Germany but it is not known how big they are because one is covered by the town of Halberstadt and the other by a vast forest.
