Pakistan discovers more dinosaur fossils

Scientists in Pakistan say that they have discovered more fossilised dinosaur bones in the southwestern province of Baluchestan.

The head of the Pakistan Geological Survey, Ghazanfar Abbas, said that around one-thousand-five-hundred newly-discovered fossils, which are thought to be about seventy-million years old, could shed new light on the end of the dinosaur era.

The latest finds follow the announcement in December of the first discoveries of dinosaur fossils in Pakistan.
