Europe's first stegosaurus was discovered.

What dinosaur do you know of that is an herbivore, 20 feet long and is studded with spikes on its tail? If you guessed a stegosaurus, you are correct. After the Jurassic period ended, about 150 million years ago, all dinosaurs became extinct. Because of this, there are fossils from these dinosaurs. Europe found their first stegosaurus fossil. Dinosaur fossils are usually found in North America, but not commonly in other continents. Surprisingly this happened. When the continents were still connected, Pangaea, dinosaurs would cross land bridges to other parts of land, which in this case is now known as Europe.

I think that this extremely fascinating to find fossils in other continents. Before reading this article, I thought that dinosaurs fossils were only found in North America and not in other coninents.

Finding dinosaur fossils can relate to science because when you discover something new you want to research about it and know more about it. By resarching about the fossil it can tell you what kind of dinosaur it cane from and learn more about that dinosaur. This can also relate to life because dinosaurs were once living, just like humans, but then became extinct.
