Paleontologists Discover Dog-Sized Dinosaur from Middle Jurassic Era
A team of paleontologists has unearthed a dog-sized dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic period on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. The dinosaur, which lived approximately 166 million years ago, was a herbivore and is the most complete dinosaur skeleton found in Scotland to date. The fossil was discovered in a challenging location, embedded in hard limestone along a rocky coastline, accessible only at low tide. The extraction required significant effort, including the use of ropes, wedges, and a motorboat. The dinosaur is believed to be an ornithischian, a group of plant-eating dinosaurs, and its discovery provides valuable insights into the evolution of dinosaurs during the Middle Jurassic period.
