Damien Boschetto and fellow researchers decided to keep his 2022 discovery a secret for two years to avoid damage during the extraction.
A man walking his dog in France happened upon a prehistoric discovery: nearly intact dinosaur bones. Damien Boschetto, a paleontology enthusiast, was walking with his dog Muffin when he saw the bones poking out of cliff that was partially eroded in Montouliers, a town in southern France.Boschetto, a member of the Association of Culture, Archeology and Paleontology , part of France's Cruzy Museum, told CBS News the skeletons were 'a rare and exceptional discovery in France and Europe.
The most complete specimen is a titanosaurus that is about 10 meters, or about 33 feet, long. While this type of herbivorous is widely present in Europe, it is rare to find their skeletons in almost complete anatomical connection, Boschetto said. 'This is what makes it an interesting deposit from a scientific point of view,' he said.
