The African continent is a rich repository for dinosaur fossils, including teeth and track marks.
This is a crucial dinosaur for palaeontologists; the variety of fossils available means researchers can study the species’ growth through its whole life span.
The more we know about the animals that lived during this time, the more we can start to comprehend how species react and recover after an extinction event.
