An amateur palaeontologist has uncovered the first dinosaur bone ever
in the Czech Republic, found within the vicinity of a quarry in Kutna
Hora. Michal Moucka, a doctor, was walking with his children when he
spotted a bone in the ground that brought to mind it might be a
dinosaur's, later confirmed by professionals. The bone comes from a
specimen known as Inguanodontide, a herbivore that lived around 95
million years ago. It was between 2.5 to 3 metres tall and 4 to 5
metres long. Experts are speculating the specimen may have been about
twenty years old when it died. Interestingly, the bone has revealed
tooth markings left by a primitive shark. Palaeontologists are now
hoping to research the bone fully to construct a model of the specimen
that would be displayed at Prague's National Museum.
