An article published in the journal “PLOS ONE” reports the discovery of a new species of titanosaur, part of the group of giant long-necked dinosaurs, that lived about 100 million years ago in today’s Tanzania. Dr. Eric Gorscak, a recent Ph.D. graduate of Ohio University, and Professor Patrick O’Connor examined fossils discovered between 2004 and 2008 in the western area of ​​the East African Rift. The researchers identified the new species naming it Mnyamawamtuka moyowamkia, a useful discovery to better understand the history of titanosaurs since this species dates back to a period when this group was still establishing in its species’ ecosystems.
