Clues to the Past

Deep in the amazon, in 2004, scientists found the first clue that dinosaurs may have lived in the rain forests of South America. the amazonsaurus maranhensis! It is a plant eater that is in the diplodocus family, that weighs 10 tons and is 10 meters long. Finding a fossil of a dinosaur in the amazon is a big deal because the rain forest is so humid that most fossils decay. There is no conclusion that dinosaurs lived there in the past yet, because the scientists had too little evidence for them to decide. Another piece of evidence was a dinosaur tooth found in the amazon, but it still wasn't enough information. The amazonsaurus gave ideas for another theory too. The fossil the paleontologists found was similar to one found in Africa giving more information that South America and Africa were once connected. So, did dinosaurs once live in the rain forest?

You decide.
