Scientists in Morocco have discovered two new Dinosaur Species that are primitive cousins of the T. rex. The fossils belong to the Abelisauridae family and were found in marine beds near Casablanca. The discovery suggests that Morocco was home to diverse dinosaur species just before the extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. The fossils represent five different dinosaur species found in Morocco, including the two new abelisaurs. The findings challenge the belief that dinosaurs were already declining before the asteroid impact, indicating that they thrived in North Africa until the very end.
