Posts on Bluesky and elsewhere pick up the finding, emphasizing the 14 tail vertebrae and what the discovery implies about ancient connections between continents.
“This discovery outside North America hints at deeper ancient land connections and broader Jurassic ranges than we thought. Love a good geological puzzle!”

First Diplodocus fossils found in Spain, including 14 tail vertebrae from a ~25m long specimen! This discovery outside North America hints at deeper ancient land connections and broader Jurassic ranges than we thought. Love a good geological puzzle!

> map!Maps.[1][2]Too far south for an ice bridge - Newfoundland is south like modern Florida - tropical. And it's the Jurassic, hot with high sea levels, so even though its continental shelf extends out towards Spain, there are no ice ages to bare it (as was the Eastern US shelf a mere 12k years ago). But Pangea is ripping apart, it's a mess with…

Remains of 25m-long Diplodocus discovered in Spain. It’s the first evidence of the iconic dino outside the US https://www. discoverwildlife.com/dinosaurs /diplodocus-spain?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub Posted into BBC Wildlife Magazine @ bbc-wildlife-magazine-BBCWildlife

I am not a dinosaur expert, but the headline seems off. The actual paper linked from sci.news starts with this (citations removed):> Diplodocids are known from deposits present in the U.S.A., Europe, South America, and Africa. According to the available evidence, the oldest diplodocid sauropod dates back to the Oxfordian of Europe, whereas the…

A dinosaur previously known only from North America has turned up in eastern Spain. Paleontologists pulled fourteen tail vertebrae out of rock around 150 million years old and identified them as Diplodocus. https://www. byteseu.com/2378864/ # Spain

Apparently I'm a bit slow today, because my brain started completing the headline as "Diplodocus, Long Thought Extinct, ..." before my eyes could finish reading it.> The animal’s fossilized remains — 14 well-preserved tail vertebrae and several chevron bones — were unearthed at the La Tejería site near the city of El Castellar in the Spanish…

> The Spanish Diplodocus lived roughly 150 million years ago near the end of the Jurassic period.> [...]> According to the team, the presence of Diplodocus in Iberia offers strong evidence that dinosaurs moved between North America and Europe during that era, likely crossing temporary land bridges that appeared as the proto-North Atlantic Ocean…

Else comment I made, trying to answer that same question, I found https://thepangeamap.com - one of the neat features is being able to put dinosaurs in the timeline. The Paleotopography selection (rather than GPlates) also gives hints about the expected height and depth of the land and sea.

Once again, history and medicine are two fields that reliably make me happy. Dinos were my faves as a child and they continue to inspire. The way we (my family) mispronounced this one: diploDOEcus. But I also got Heredotus very wrong, so I guess it was a Midwest thing.

I would think so yes. But not an authority on this.The map is super cool though. Makes you think of the earth as something still aging since it looks clearly “earth” but with major differences.

Is "American" a nationality where maybe "North American" a geography? I don't think Diplodocus has US citizenship...

We could save a lot of money and emissions if we brought the continents back together! Imagine Paris to New York by high speed train.
