With nearly 80% of its skeleton intact, it’s one of the most complete specimens yet found of the iconic armor-plated, herbivorous dino, which lived throughout what is now North America and Europe about 150 million years ago, when both were part of the supercontinent Laurasia.

The study focused on a previously underexplored region, Polish Basin, located in the Late Triassic time in the in the northern parts of the then supercontinent Pangea.

The remains of bygone meals provide an intimate peek at how dinosaurs displaced rivals, diversified into myriad shapes and sizes, and grew into giants between 230 million and 200 million years ago in one part of the ancient supercontinent Pangaea.

This not only highlights the basin's potential but also ties it to a broader geological narrative of Gondwana, the ancient supercontinent.

The Karoo-Ferrar LIP, for example, occurred on the former supercontinent Gondwana, and that material is now spread out across the southern hemisphere, spanning modern-day Southern Africa, Antarctica and Tasmania, the scientists said.
