Egyptian dinosaur shows ancient link between Africa, Europe
Scientists have discovered a long-necked plant-eating dinosaur with bony skin plates in Egypt dating back 80 million years ago. The discovery of such rare fossils helps understand how creatures moved across Africa and Europe, earlier joined by the supercontinent Pangaea, said researchers. The species was named Mansourasaurus shahinae, after Mansoura University and researcher Mona Shahin.
