The exposed 'monster' park showing only the thigh bone was bigger than a human

Fossil hunters had to use a strong horse to pull the monster's thigh bone from the 150 million-year-old grave in Utah State Park.

A team of fossil hunters named Brian Engh, whose members are many paleontologists and anatomists, discovered the strange object in 2019, but until now they have received a permit to excavate. In the bones were found. the biggest thigh bone, so much so that when it was plastered to put it on the ground, it looked like scientists were trying to move . a large coffin.

According to team member Mathew Wedel, an associate professor at Western Medical Science University in the United States, a member of the research team, the fossilized bones of this giant "monster" have been caught between many ancient "gold mines". Another study, where many ancient rocks were discovered, ancient plant fragments are at least several million years old.

After an unbelievably large thigh bone, several pieces of the monster's ribs were also found. It was identified as the fossilized remains of Brachiosaurus , one of the largest dinosaurs in the world.

Preliminary analysis shows that the newly discovered Brachiosaurus roamed the earth 150 million years ago, the end of the Jurassic period. The femur itself was 201 cm long, well above the height of an adult man. Estimated when alive, "monster" weighs 3 tons. Despite being large, Brachiosaurus is a gentle herbivorous dinosaur.

It is also one of the most complete bones of the legendary dinosaur ever excavated. Brachiosaurus existed about 155 to 140 million years ago, living mainly in the lands of Algeria, Portugal, Tanzania and the United States today.
