在印度萨哈拉布尔发现了一个3500万至4 000万年前保存良好的特里塞拉托斯鼻角化石,这表明该区域在古生物学中的重要性正在上升。
A well-preserved Triceratops nasal horn fossil, dated to 35–40 million years ago, was found in Saharanpur, India, signaling the region's rising significance in paleontology.
印度撒哈拉普尔萨哈纳萨拉河沿岸发现的一个化石据信是三环形恐龙的一部分。 三环形恐龙是已故白鲸时期的三角恐龙。
A fossil found along the Sahansara River in Saharanpur, India, is believed to be part of a Triceratops, a three-horned dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period.
包括自然历史和自然保护中心的Mohammad Umar Saif在内的研究人员说,有良好保护的鼻角与已知的Triceratops标本非常相似,并通过3 500万至4 000万年的矿化而转化为沙石。
Researchers, including Mohammad Umar Saif of the Natural History and Conservation Centre, say the well-preserved nasal horn shows strong similarities to known Triceratops specimens and has transformed into sandstone through mineralization over 35 to 40 million years.
虽然尚未确定身份,但这一发现增加了该区域越来越多的古老化石清单,突显了撒哈拉普尔在古生物学研究中新出现的重要性。
While definitive identification is pending, the discovery adds to a growing list of ancient fossils in the region, highlighting Saharanpur's emerging importance in paleontological research.
