140 million-year-old femur from a herbivore dinosaur found in France

A researcher inspects the femur of a Sauropod on Wednesday, July 24, 2019. The bone was discovered this week during paleontological excavations at Angeac-Charente in southwest France. The 140-million-year-old femur, which is two meters long and weighs 500 kilograms, is from a Jurassic period Sauropod, the largest herbivorous dinosaur known to date. It was found nestled in a thick layer of clay by a team of volunteer excavators from the National Museum of Natural History. Other bones from the animal's pelvis were also unearthed.
