Bone found at the site Cinctorres Anna
Paleontologists working in the field of dinosaur Anna Cinctorres have made a new discovery during the study of the fossil pieces recovered in 2004, the excavations were carried out at the site. This is a tail bone known as "chevron." The uniqueness of the finding lies in the fact that the bone was fractured while the animal lived, and then cured, but not welded properly. According
Andrés Santos, one of the paleontologists involved in the study "these kinds of fossils shed much light on the life of dinosaurs, as such, this case lets you know like a dinosaur suffered a fracture and it was cured." In this regard paleontologists believe that the bone fracture of the tail could be caused by the attack of another dinosaur or during mating of the animal.
After this break the bone was welded, but deviated from its original position producing a notable callus, which is an abnormal thickening of the bone. However this type of injury was not fatal to the animal, as evidenced by the healing of the fracture, but should not spend much time until his death, because the calluses are often reabsorbed after fracture healing and in this issue has not been reabsorbed.
Paleontologists working in Anna and Cinctorres Mayor, Antonio Ripoll, believe that the deposits of the locality and the Cultural Park dinomania (a current project) will continue to provide new information about dinosaurs of the region that will be of great importance for the development of it.
The director of excavations at the site Cinctorres Anna, Andrés Santos, hopes to recover more data on this dinosaur in new campaigns excavations. The field of dinosaur
Anna has become a privileged space for research in the region of Els Ports. The Cinctorrres deposit was discovered in 1998 and in 2002 performed the first excavation was already possible to find remains of more than 500 dinosaurs. Fossils have been recovered and are being studied in depth, as he has allowed to know the facts about this fractured bone. Levante
