Discovering the Nyasasaurus Parringtoni


06 Dec

Have you ever been sorting through things, found something you had no idea what it was, set it aside and thought “I’ll figure that out later”? That’s essentially what happened to a fossil in the collection of the London Museum of Natural History. Found in the 1930s, originally studied in the 1950s, but not identified until this year, the fossil is of what is now believed to be the oldest ever dinosaur- by 10 to 15 million years.
