The discovery of the skeleton of dinosaurs and other prehistoric treasures from an ancient riverbed in Utah has amazed scientists. This finding is sure to reveal new information about the Jurassic landscape where dinosaurs resided around 145 to 150 million years ago. It has been just three weeks of work on the federal land near Hanksville, Utah and the paleontologists inform that they have dug up at least two meat-eating dinosaurs. The paleontologists state that the skeleton of the dinosaurs could probably belong to a Stegosaurus and four Sauropods.
 
Sauropods had a long neck, long-tail that could reach 130 feet or 40 meters long and are said to be the largest animals ever to have lived on Earth. Scott Foss, a paleontologist in the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) Salt Lake City office, said, ‘The paleontologists have found so far not only scattered bones but partial and complete skeletons. It's really amazing.’ Few of the BLM members as well as the locals believed that dinosaur bones to be found around Hanksville region, but none had anticipated the scale or the scope of what was there.
