Giant Dinosaur bone uncovered in France

A giant dinosaur thigh bone have been uncovered by the paleontologists in south-western France. The giant femur has been found out at an excavation site that has been yielding fossils for nearly a decade.

The thigh bone is measured 6.5-foot. Scientists assumed that it belonged to a giant sauropod in France. Sauropod is a plant-eating dinosaur with a long neck and tail.

The sauropods, which existed in the late Jurassic era, were among the largest land animals that ever existed.

Angouleme Museum curator, Jean-François Tournepiche said, “This femur is huge! And in an exceptional state of conservation.”. “It’s very moving”, he added.

The Paleontologists commented that the sate of preservation of the bone is amazing. Reports said that a large pelvic bone was also found nearby.

Ronan Allain, a palaeontologist said, “These are animals that probably weighed 40 to 50 tonnes”.
