Scientists found three fossilized teeth from very large plant-eating dinosaurs called “Turiasaurians” in the Middle Atlas mountains near the city of Boulemane, Morocco.
The team of Moroccans and international scientists discovered the teeth in the El Mers III Formation near Boulmane city. This discovery is very important because it helps us learn more about where giant dinosaurs lived long ago in Africa.
These fossils are from the Middle Jurassic period, about 168 to 166 million years ago. They are the oldest proof of Turiasaurians living in Africa.
Turiasaurians were giant plant-eating dinosaurs. They belonged to the sauropod family but were different from later sauropods called “neosauropods”.
These huge dinosaurs lived from the Early Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous periods that started 145 million years ago and ended 66 million years ago.
They were first found in Europe but have also been found in Africa, India, and maybe Argentina. Their teeth are large, flat, and shaped like a heart, which makes them easy to identify.
The place where the teeth were found has many rare fossils. Among them are the oldest armored dinosaur “ankylosaur” ever found in the world and the oldest known true bird. Recently, heavy floods in the area exposed many fossils, helping scientists find them easily.
This discovery supports the idea that Turiasaurians lived across many continents during the Middle Jurassic. It also shows that Morocco was an important place for giant dinosaurs to live and evolve.
These fossils help us understand more about where these big dinosaurs lived during the Jurassic period and confirm that Morocco is a key place to study ancient life on Earth.
