Giant dinosaur found in Brazil after 120 million years reshapes map of ancient continents

Its closest relative lived in Spain, miles away

Construction workers in Davinopolis, Brazil uncovered fossilized bones of a giant dinosaur named Dasosaurus tocantinensis, dating to about 120 million years ago. Roughly 65 feet long, it has a closest relative found in Spain. Scientists say the connection hints at ancient land bridges linking continents, and the fossil may also reveal how these massive animals grew.
