Palaeontologists in New Mexico have unearthed the remains of at least one dinosaur from the late Jurassic period. The palaeontologists, from Canada, have been digging in a formerly unexplored part of the Morrison Formation - a vast fossil bed - for the last eight months. Early last week one of the group found a section of rock which contained a number of bones from one, or possibly more, large herbivorous dinosaurs. Since then, the group has been trying to release the bones from the rock and piece them together. The palaeontologists believe that the bones may form a whole dinosaur family. It is possible that the whole family perished while trying to protect the young from predators. According to Bryce Larson, the group's leader, the bones are from a large brachiosaurus. These animals existed approximately 150 million years ago and are counted amongst the largest dinosaurs that ever walked the Earth. Other brachiosaurus remains has been found in the Morrison, but these latest bones are very large and may prove to come from the largest dinosaur anyone has discovered to date. For a long time the Morrison Formation has been one of the most productive fossil beds in the world. Since the first bones were discovered there in 1877, it has produced tonnes of material. The Morrison, more than any other fossil bed, has allowed us an insight into the late Jurassic period in North America. It seems that the latest find could reveal even more about the giants of the Jurassic.
