I just returned from the 1st Iberian Congress of Paleontology in Évora, Portugal. Among other communications it was presented a huge tibia (82 cm long with length/circumference ratio= 47) ascribed to the theropod dinosaur Torvosaurus sp. The tibia was found in Late Jurassic (Tithonian layers). A three pages abstract was published and is available at: http://homepage.altavista.com/lourinhanosaurus/home.html The reference is: MATEUS, O. & ANTUNES, M.T. (2000). Torvosaurus sp. (Dinosauria: Theropoda) in the Late Jurassic of Portugal. Livro de Resumos do I Congresso Ibérico de Paleontologia, pp: 115-117.The list of the other communications can been found at http://www.eventos.uevora.pt/paleo2000/pt/pt.htm All the best Octávio Mateus GEAL- Museu da Lourinhã |
