Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
10 years ago, a group of dinosaur hunters discovered a pile of giant bones at the edge of a pond in north-eastern Thailand. These bones have since been studied by researchers from University College London (UCL), Mahasarakham University, Suranaree University of Technology, and Sirindhorn Museum in Thailand and identified as a new species of sauropod dinosaur. The dinosaur has been named Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis after Chaiyaphum, the province where its remains were found almost a decade ago. This remote part of north-eastern Thailand is a hotspot for dinosaur discoveries and has yielded fossils of 13 other species since the first - Siamosaurus suteethorni - was found in 1986. The discovery of N.chaiyaphumensis marks the region’s, and Thailand’s, 14th unique species.
