00:00Rare dinosaur fossils were uncovered in southern Argentina, in Rio Negro Province during a live-streamed field campaign.
00:08Paleontologists from Argentina's Laboratory of Comparative Anatomy and Evolution of Vertebrates, part of the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences,
00:17were working near the city of General Roca when they made the discovery.
00:21The exact location of the find has not been disclosed in order to protect the area's cultural heritage,
00:27but the discovery team described the site as one of the most complete windows into the pre-extinction world of dinosaurs, dating back 70 million years.
00:36The site is known for yielding fossils of both marine and terrestrial animals, including dinosaur nests, mammals, snakes, and lizards.
00:45On Wednesday, the team discovered a sauropod femur with unusual proportions.
00:51A day later, they unearthed a scapula, or shoulder blade, from a duck-billed dinosaur.
00:57The campaign aims to locate the remaining fossils of the Bonapartonicus ultimus,
01:03a dinosaur species first identified last year following the discovery of a claw.
