HONG KONG — Scientists have discovered dinosaur fossils for the first time in Hong Kong. Initial analysis showed that the fossilized bone belonged to a large dinosaur from the Cretaceous period about 145 million to 66 million years ago, the government said Wednesday in a statement, adding that the exact species will be confirmed by future studies.
” Pittman said he hasn’t seen the fossils yet but hopes Hong Kong can find more, adding that the one discovered so far, a “relatively small” piece, would be part of a bigger skeleton that would be “meters of meters long.” Until now, all the fossils studied in Hong Kong were from other places, Pittman said, noting that China, the United States, Canada and Argentina are the four global “powerhouses” of dinosaur paleontology where experts find the most fossils.
