An artist's reconstruction of the new titanosaurian dinosaur Mansourasaurus shahinae on a coastline in what is now the Western Desert of Egypt approximately 80 million years ago. “It was — I don't really exaggerate — it was like seeing the Holy Grail of dinosaurs,” Lamanna said. The research team published their findings on Mansourasaurus shahinae Monday in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.
