Long Island Professor Uncovers New Dinosaur in Zimbabwe

Kimi Chapelle, a professor from Stony Brook University, has made a groundbreaking paleontological discovery in Zimbabwe, identifying a new species of dinosaur that roamed the earth 210 million years ago during the Late Triassic period. This newly discovered sauropodomorph dinosaur, named Musankwa sanyatiensis, is notable for its long neck and herbivorous diet. The name pays tribute to the houseboat that served as a base for the researchers as they explored the Mid-Zambezi Basin. This marks the first dinosaur named from this region in over half a century, highlighting a significant milestone in the study of prehistoric life and deepening our understanding of dinosaur evolution in Africa.
