It is reported that fossils( 化 石 )found in China are from an totally new type of dinosaur( 恐龙)that belonged to the same family as the giants diplodocus(梁龙)which have died out and only can be seen in pictures.

The fossils were first discovered in 2004 by a farmer in Lingwu, a small town in the west of China. Since then, a group of people led by Xu Xing, an expert from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have dug up the whole or parts of skeletons(骷髅)from between seven and 10 dinosaurs.

Xu and researchers from two English universities have published the first study of the 174-million-year-old fossils in the journal Nature. The animal that died out long ago belonged to the diplodocus family, which are a group of ancient animals including the huge 25- meter-long diplodocus.
