The Vivieron dinosaurs in large colonies at the cost of Sesimbra, in one of the most beautiful parishes of the Portuguese portals, 129 million years ago, as they reveal the discovery of a large number of caves of these animals found by luscious scientists.
There are 614 dinosaur caves with 129 million antiquities hallowed by investigators from the Center for Geological History and Prehistory (CPGP) in Cabo Espichel, Setúbal Peninsula, which provides new information on the behavior of these ancient populations.
“This hall has been sued by the mayor for a series of dinosaur caves of the Inferior Cretaceous period found in Portugal,” said Efe Silvério Figueiredo, president of the Center for Geographic History and Prehistory and director of research.
The zone is located between Boca do Chapim and Praia do Areia do Mastro, in close proximity to the coastal town of Espichel, in the municipality of Sesimbra, enclaved on the peninsula of Setúbal, 40 kilometers south of Lisbon, where they are located oas huellas previamente.
HUELLAS QUE REVELAN IDENTIDAD
The floors, found in three stone walls along with an acanthilade of 60 meters high, correspond to herbivorous dinosaurs, such as sauropods and ornithopods, and carnivores like teropods.
Investigators suspect that the dinosaurs pissaron have 129 million years ago and deep-sea marine entourages, lagoons and estuaries, about which sedimentary deposits of rocks, margins and arenas, thanks to which they form the caves.
“The state of conservation is not the best”, confessed Figueiredo, mainly due to the type of formation of the caves “are not the markets that directly degenerate the dinosaurs, meaning that they are the result of the fire of the lower cape “.
The intense erosion of the islands and the high seas also hampered conservation, but “can be appreciated” in the markets, continues.
“Indian caves that the zone was very frequented by different species of dinosaurs, we think that can be a no-go zone between pastoral areas where the herbivorous podrians provide food, and for that matter, zones for the carnivores.
614 were identified in an area of more than 1,350 metro squares divided into three large groups of dinosaurs: teropods (93) sauropods (324) and ornithopods (197), that is to say, 15% of the caves belong to carnivores that 85% are herbivores.
In addition to the dates that brought the discovery, Figueiredo’s team also reported that he had not identified or related to any species.
NEW DATES OF SU BEHAVIOR
The Sesimbra is the mayor of the Cretaceous of the caves in Portugal, which will help the experts “provide another type of data such as the use of graces in the large number of caves of the same animal”.
The investigators also felt that the environment was favorable and that the country had included “water reservoirs close to literal”, a phenomenon that explains the large amount of dinosaurs.
In addition, there is evidence of routes used by groups of dinosaurs in their migrations and rasters that in their displacement are created in the center of the month to protect the predators that only breed in a group.
The investigators believe that the terropods podrían haber used this area as a cosa de caza and that the collection of large specimens indicates that there are solitaire cazadores, mientras que los pequeños, que dejaron un burgemeester número de marcas, podrían haber cazado en grup.
The analysis of the caves also confirms that the dinosaurs did not arrest the cola when it was burning.
THE FUTURE OF THE DINOSAURIOS
According to Figueiredo, this hallazgo brings new data that the investigators publish in international scientific journals to help amplify the knowledge about the dinosaurs.
In addition, the team is preparing an exhibition on this discovery, the result of the work of a team of paleontologists and geologists, who collaborated with colleagues from other countries such as France, Brazil and Spain, as the Spanish paleontologist Xabier Peres.
The work that allowed it to find the 614 huellas form part of the investigation that the CPGP developed in the region since 1998.
