Scientists unearth 220 million-year-old dinosaur fossils in ArgentinaThe fossilised dinosaur remains discovered in western Argentina are believed to be 220 million years old. [AFP]A site containing the 220-million-year-old fossilised remains of nearly a dozen dinosaurs has been discovered in western Argentina, researchers said Wednesday. "There are almost ten different individuals, it's a mass of bones, there's practically no sediment," said Argentinian paleontologist Ricardo Martinez. According to Martinez, of the University of San Juan, the fossils are approximately 220 million years old, belonging to "an era of which we know little". The find was discovered in September last year in San Juan province, about 1,100 kilometres (680 miles) west of Buenos Aires.
