Palaeontologists find evidence of Carcharodontosaurus' existence in the Northern Hemisphere

Description

Lisbon (Portugal), Jul 27 (EFE), (Camera: Nacho Ballesteros).- Spanish and Portuguese palaeontologists have discovered a new dinosaur species, Lusovenator (“hunter of Lusitania”), which lived 145 million years ago. SOUNDBITES OF:-FERNANDO ESCASO, PALEONTOLOGIST AT UNED:"The holotype is normally smaller and we estimate that it would be 3 meters long, but the other species would reach 6-7 meters, which ita medium size for this species. But this doesn't mean the Lusovenator is that size, we don't know yet. It's a reptile, it could grow and we don't know what size it could reach. " -ELISABETE MALAFAIA, PALEONTOLOGIST AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LISBON."It's not common to find the whole skeleton, we normally find only parts. It's a relatively well-known group, normally in the Cretaceous."
