Jurassic finds in Loei province

More than 10 new items of dinosaur remains have been found in Thailand, this time in Phu Kradung district of Loei province.

Natural Resources and Environment ministry officials revealed that the Jurassic finds were all in rather good condition. Dinosaur footprints were also found, believed to have been from the Triassic period, or around 210 million years ago.

Dinosaur fossils were also discovered along the Phu Phan mountains - a vast mountainous area between Kalasin and Mukdahan provinces where more than 200 fish fossils were discovered. The head and upper body fossil of a crocodile was also found.

Palaeonthologists say Jurassic finds in the northeastern region of Thailand prove that the region was, millions of years ago, once a dinosaur habitat.
