Lizard-footed dinosaurs have been found in the central Argentine province of Neuquen.

A team of palaeontologists from Spain and Argentina has discovered three members of a new dinosaur in the central Argentine province of Neuquen - the remains of an adult dinosaur and two young dinosaurs that lived 110 million years ago, The Independent reported.
new species of dinosaurs are part of a family of herbivorous dinosaurs known as lizard-footed dinosaurs, which include the famous Lianglong and Leilong.
scientists say the remains of an adult dinosaur suggest it is about 12 meters long, while the young dinosaurs found should be between 6 and 7 meters long. "We found most of the skulls, noses, jaws, many teeth, and bones that can identify eye socket scars, so we could almost reconstruct the whole dinosaur," said Josh Luis Calbalido, a paleontologist at the Gideo Feulio Museum of Paleontology in Argentina at the
.
" participants from the University of Zaragoza and The National University of Ramatasa said the dinosaurs may have moved around en masse and may have died en masse.
's latest discovery has surprised palaeontologists, who believe the area where the remains were found may have been a desert, water is rare and the herbivores have limited food sources. "While one can imagine this group of lizard-footed dinosaurs that might be able to adapt to arid environments with little vegetation, less humidity and lack of water, this is a place where you can't find fossils," said
.
And now, not only have we found a new species here, but its skull is almost intact.
"The lizard-footed dinosaur is known for its huge size, with many members of the family weighing up to 40 tons and the heaviest lizard-footed dinosaur, the Argentinian dragon, likely to weigh more than 80 tons.
