Unearthing Egypt's Ancient Titanosaur: Filling the Gaps in Dinosaur History

The newly described species of titanosaur, Igai semkhu, has filled a significant gap in our understanding of the final 30 million years of the Age of Dinosaurs. The 75-million-year-old dinosaur, discovered in the Kharga Oasis in Egypt, is one of the most complete dinosaur fossils ever found in Africa. Despite its relatively small size, Igai semkhu provides valuable insights into the diversity of titanosaurs during the Cretaceous era. The scarcity of dinosaur fossils in Africa makes this discovery particularly important for paleontologists.
