DHAKA: Scientists and geologists who trekked a mountain in upper Terengganu have discovered what they believe to be fossils of three different types of dinosaurs that may have lived in the area 66 million years ago or earlier.

The fossils are said to be unrelated to those found earlier in Pahang by a University of Malaya’s research team, including an announcement last Thursday that they had discovered a fossil tooth of what is believed to be a herbivorous dinosaur in a sedimentary rock formation.

The specimen was found not far from the location of where the first dinosaur fossil was discovered and announced in February as that of the carnivorous Spinosauridae dinosaur.

The exact location of the Pahang discoveries was not disclosed to prevent raiders from entering the site, reports The Straits Times.
