A study by the National Research Council, the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the National University of Distance Education and the University of Ohio (USA) presents the 3D reconstruction of the brain would be the first representative of the genus sauropod dinosaur identified Ampelosaurus in the Iberian Peninsula. The fossil skull was found at the site of Lo Hueco Cuenca in 2007 and dates back some 70 million years old (Late Cretaceous).
"Finding the skull of a sauropod dinosaur in Europe is something unusual and in this case it is even more important because it is the first described in the deposit of Lo Hueco, where remains have been found associated cranial skeletons these animals, "said Francisco Ortega, a researcher at the Open University and co-author of the study. At present we only know a species of this genus discovered in southern France, but the researchers suggest that the differences between the two fossils do not exclude the possibility that it could be two different species of titanosaurs.
There was only one species of this genus discovered in southern France
Fabien Knoll, a researcher at the National Museum of Natural Sciences CSIC who led the research, believes that more remains would be needed to ensure that it is a new species. The specimen is classified as Ampelosaurus sp., Pending identification of more specific level. With CT techniques, scientists have created a 3D image of the skull of the dinosaur and have been able to describe both your brain as your ear.
