This may not be Jurassic Park, but South Africa is one of the best places in the world to find dinosaur remains. About 200 million years ago, some of the biggest creatures to ever walk the earth appeared here. Sauropods such as Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus walked on four legs, had small heads and long necks and could weigh over 100 tonnes. Paul Barratt from the Natural History Museum is joining teams from Johannesburg and Munich to work out how these vast creatures came into existence. Well, we just walk around with our eyes to the ground basically. We' re looking out for something that' s slightly different to the majority of the rock. Little chips of bone, or if we' re really lucky, a small part of bone poking out of a side of a cliff or a side of a hill that will give us some kind of indication of where we might actually find part of a skeleton or some bones. |
