The search for the origins of the largest land animals in history takes a groundbreaking turn. In Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, paleontologists uncover fossils that close a 20-million-year gap in dinosaur history. Leading the discovery is Atlasaurus, an ancestor of the iconic Brachiosaurus. Exposed layers of early Jurassic sediment yield rare bones and preserved footprints, offering clues to these prehistoric giants. Through groundbreaking fieldwork and laboratory analysis, scientists reconstruct a lost world where massive sauropods grazed ferns and conifers.
This discovery not only redefines our understanding of dinosaur evolution but breathes life into the missing link of Earth’s ancient past.
