One of the last dinosaurs, living in Africa before the extinction of the giant lizards 65 million years ago was found in a phosphate mine in northern Morocco.

Russian scientists from Vladivostok have laid out a new theory about how the dinosaurs went extinct. According to them, the reason for it was the abrupt increase in earthly mass and gravity.
