Correct. It is buried in the limestone at the Adriatic sea bottom along the
coast of the Istrian Peninsula, Porto Colonne locality, Valle/Bale
municipality.
However, do not consider _Histriasaurus_ as an European dinosaur. Now it is
European, but it was Gondwanian (Afro-arabian) 130 million years ago. Take
into consideration the plate tectonics :)
