Chinanews, Beijing, Apr. 17 – According to People’s Daily, the local museum in Heyuan, Guangdong Province announced last Friday that its experts had newly discovered tyrannosaurus and mamenchisaurus fossils in a construction site. It is the first time that tyrannosaurus fossils have been discovered in south China.
Heyuan, located in the mountainous region of Guangdong, has witnessed the discovery of thousands of dinosaur1 eggs, 11 dinosaur skeletons and 168 fossils of dinosaur footprints. The local museum has a collection of 13 thousand dinosaur eggs, and in 2005, the city was honored with the title of “the dinosaur cradle of China” by China Bureau of Geological Survey. Experts also said that currently there are still thousands of dinosaur fossils waiting for excavation2, as the city doesn’t have enough money to preserve all these fossils. In the museum, our reporter saw all of these fossils were treated as common stones, and the exhibition hall covered only 200 sq.m. Many fossils have had to be put away in the warehouses3. Some fossils are broken, which according to an official from the museum, that it was caused by explosions on in the construction site. Because few of them were excavated4 by archeologists, many of them are in poor condition.
