CAIRO, Nov 4 (SEE) – ''National University of La Matanza'' reported on Saturday that the team of Spanish and Argentinian paleontologists discovered remains of dinosaurs that lived 110m years ago in the centre of the country.The fossils showed the adult dinosaur to be 12 meters in length, while the young lizards scientists believed measured between six and seven meters long.
The scientists reported that the species was moved around and died together in a group from circumstances yet unknown to the scientific community. Desert conditions of the topography at that time could have contributed to their demise as herbivores need an abundance of flora and water to sustain their existence.

The team found “most” of the cranial bones, including snout, jaws, and teeth as well as parts of the neck, tail and back.
Remains came from three separate dinosaurs from the herbivorous group of sauropods, the best known of which are the Diplodocus and Brontosaurus. This new species has been named ''Lavocatisaurus agrioensis''.
The area in which the fossils were found is unusual for dinosaurs as it would have been a desert with sporadic lakes in that era.
