Newly Described Sauropodomorph from the Late Triassic of Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe Late Triassic Norian Triassic fossil Dinosauria
A team of international researchers have described a new dinosaur based on fossils found in Zimbabwe. This newly described sauropodomorph named Musango matusadonaensis lived during the Late Triassic (Norian faunal stage), around 210 million years ago. Musango is the fifth dinosaur to be named from fossils discovered in Zimbabwe. Furthermore, these fossils further support the
