THE WASHINGTON POST – Putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle can be a lot of fun! Especially when the pieces are millions of years old. Jonah Choinière of the Evolutionary Studies Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, and his team of paleontologists put together the pieces of two giant dinosaur skeletons during the recent lockdown period in South Africa.
These skeletons were among many fossil remains of prehistoric creatures shepherd Dumangwe Thyobeka found ain 2018 in Qhemegha, a village in Eastern Cape Province. Thyobeka had seen what appeared to be dinosaur bones – he reasoned that they were much too big to be cattle bones. He knew to notify the authorities, and Choinière said he could still remember how excited he was when he and his team arrived at the site.
