Dinosaur treasure trove unearthed in Italy

Palaeontologists from the University of Bologna have unearthed a cache of 11 immaculately preserved dinosaur fossils in Villaggio del Pescatore, near Trieste, in northeastern Italy.

The skeletons are the biggest and most complete ever to be found in Italy and belong to the species Tethyshadros insularis, which stalked the Mediterranean approximately 80 million years ago.
