The recently identified dinosaur species lived in what is currently Argentina about 70 million years ago. Scientifically named "Maip Macrothorax", the ancient creature was between 9 and 10 meters long and weighed up to five tons. According to those responsible for the discovery, the find helps to better understand the evolution of the species in Patagonia, which is a cold, mountainous region where there were forests and tropical a

SOUNDBITE (Spanish): RODOLFO SALAS-GISMONDI, Director of Vertebrate Paleontology at Natural History Museum in Peru STORYLINE: Peruvian paleontologists have discovered the fossilized cranium of a basilosaurus, a primitive whale dating back 36 million years. The cranium measures 1.35 meters in length and contains sharp teeth which remain intact. This discovery was registered at the end of 2021 by a team of investigators led by the paleontologist Mario Urbina, who profoundly carried out this project in the desert area known as Ocucaj found in the southern region of Ica. The giant cranium belongs to an ancient forerunner of whales and comes from rocks dating to the Eocene age, as the Director of the Vertebrate Paleontology Department at the Natural History Museum Rodolfo Salas-Gismond explained.
